O Mother of the Divine Redeemer,

who under the title of

Our Lady of Good Remedy

comes to the aid of all

who call upon thee,

We depend on thee,

dear Mother,

as helpless and needy children

grant that we may draw

to endure their sufferings

with patient resignation

and Christian fortitude.

and to strive to be a source of healing

in this broken world of ours.

Dear Lady of Good Remedy,

be ever present to me,

and through thy intercession,

may I enjoy health of body and peace of mind,

and grow stronger in the faith

and in the love of thy Son, Jesus.

Pray the Hail Mary...
