PRAYER TO THE BLESSED VIRGIN (Never known to fail. All that is needed is to ask). O most beautiful flower of Mount Carmel, Fruitful Vine, Splendour of Heaven, Blessed Mother of the Son of God, Immaculate Virgin, assist me in necessity. O Star of the Sea, help me and show me you are my Mother. O Holy Mary, Mother of God, Queen of Heaven and Earth. I humbly beseech you from the bottom of my heart to secure me in my necessity (make your request, no matter how impossible). There are none that can withstand your power. Oh Mary, conceived without sin, pray for us who have recourse to thee (three times). Holy Mary, I place this cause into your hands (three times) Say this prayer for three consecutive days, publish it and whatever you asked will be given to you. A.A.
