Prayer to Our Lady of the Divine Love, 1 May 1979, John Paul II

PRAYER OF THE HOLY FATHER JOHN PAUL II
TO OUR LADY OF THE DIVINE LOVE

Hail, oh Mother, Queen of the world.

You are the Mother of fair Love
You are the Mother of Jesus, the source of all grace,
the perfume of every virtue,
the mirror of all purity.
You are joy in weeping, victory in battle, hope in death.
How sweet your name tastes in our mouth,
how harmoniously it rings in our ears,
what rapture it brings to our hearts!
You are the happiness of the suffering,
the crown of martyrs,
the beauty of virgins.
We beg you, guide us after this exile
to possession of your Son, Jesus.

Amen.
