Holy Mary, Help the Helpless

[Sancta Maria, succurre miseris]

Holy Mary, help the helpless, strengthen the faithful,
comfort the sorrowful, pray for the people,
plead for the clergy, intercede for all women
consecrated to God; may all who keep thy
sacred commemoration experience the
might of thine assurance.

(Roman Breviary)
Partial Indulgence.

Out of the Depths
 
[De profundis]

Out of the depths I cry to Thee, O Lord;
Lord, hear my voice!
Let Thine ears be attentive
to my voice in supplication:
If Thou, O Lord, mark iniquities,
Lord, who can stand?
But with Thee is forgiveness,
that Thou mayst be revered.
I trust in the Lord;
my soul trusts in His word.
My soul waits for the Lord,
more than sentinels wait for the dawn.
More than sentinels wait for the dawn,
let Israel wait for the Lord;
For with the Lord is kindness
and with Him is plenteous redemption;
And He will redeem Israel from all their iniquities.

A  partial indulgence is granted to the faithful, who piously recite
the De Profundis or Psalm 129.
