Prayer to Our Lady Aparecida

“O Virgin Mary, blessed are you by the Lord God most high among all the women of the earth. You are the glory of Jerusalem, you are the joy of Israel, you are the honor of our people. Hail, O virgin, honor of our land , to whom we render a cult of piety and devotion, whom we call with the beautiful name of Aparecida.

We wanted to gird your sacred head with a golden crown, which is owed to you by so many titles; continue to bend yourselves benignly to our prayers. When we lift up our pleading hands to heaven, hear our prayers graciously, O virgin; keep our souls from guilt, and finally lead us to heaven. Salvation, honor and power to him who, one and triune, in the splendor of his heavenly throne, governs and governs the entire universe. Our Lady of Conception Aparecida, pray for us. Amen!”
