Our Lady of Protection is the vigilant and gentle Mother who watches over her children with tenderness. She wraps her mantle around those who invoke her in faith, preserving them from evil and keeping them in God's peace. To pray to her is to surrender to her benevolence, in the certainty that no danger is stronger than her maternal love.

O most holy Virgin Mary, Our Lady of Protection, refuge of souls who seek you with trust, I come to place myself under your maternal mantle. Cover me with your light and guard me from all evil. You who are the Mother of Divine Providence, watch over my life, my family and all those I love.

O O benevolent Mother, I offer you my fears, my doubts and my wounds. Protect me from visible and invisible dangers, keep temptations and evil influences away from me. May your kind gaze enlighten my choices and your hand guide me in moments of uncertainty.

Our Lady of Protection, you are the guardian of souls in sorrow, the consolation of the afflicted and the defence of the weak. Be my strength in trials and my refuge in storms. When I feel alone or threatened, remind me that you are always there, gentle and faithful, by my side.

O Virgin most pure, protect my home, my plans, my joys and my sorrows. Guard me from accidents, sickness and every form of evil. Spread your mantle over those who travel, over children who grow up, over divided families and over souls who seek themselves.

O loving Mother, Our Lady of Protection, I trust in your intercession. Present my prayers to your Son Jesus and obtain for me the grace I entrust to you today (formulate your intention here). Give me peace of heart, faith in trial and the light of hope.

O Mary, shield of those who believe, shelter me under your mantle of tenderness. Grant that I may remain faithful to your love and that, through your protection, I may one day be led into the glory of Heaven, to your beloved Son.

Amen.
