May the patronage and tutelage of the great Mother of God, Blessed Mary ever-Virgin conceived without sin, avail each of us, together with all our families and loved ones, unto the increase of the theological virtues, the infused moral virtues and the gifts of the Holy Ghost, and may this glorious Victress assist us in our battle against the infernal Leviathan -- so that, having cultivated a life of prayer and good works worthy of supernatural grace, we may be found worthy to enter into the celestial precincts of the heavenly Jerusalem, where this same illustrious Virgin reigns as Queen and supreme Arbitress over all that is subject unto her Divine Son.
