O most Excellent and Immaculate Queen of Heaven,
Holy Mary of Good Success,

most cherished Spouse of the Holy Spirit,
sublime Throne of the Divine Majesty,
August Temple of the Holy Trinity,
in whom the Three Divine Persons
have placed the treasures of Their Power, Wisdom and Love!
Remember, Virgin Mary of Good Success,
whom God has made so great
so that you can give succor to miserable sinners;
remember that you have often promised
to show yourself as a merciful Mother
to those who have recourse to you.
I come then to you, Mother most merciful, and I beg you,
for your love of the Most High,
that you should obtain for me from God the Father
a lively Faith that never loses sight of the eternal truths;
from the Son, a firm Hope that always aspires
to reach that glory that He won for me with His Blood;
and from the Holy Ghost, a charity so inflamed
that I will always live loving the Supreme Goodness and you,
Most Holy Virgin, until through your intervention
I will love and enjoy you eternally in glory.
Amen.
We salute you Mary, as the Favored Daughter of God the Father.
Say 1 Hail Mary...
We salute you Mary, as the Chosen Mother of the Divine Son.
Say 1 Hail Mary...
We salute you Mary, as the Singular Spouse of the Holy Ghost.
Say 1 Hail Mary...
Say 1 Glory Be...

Day One
O Lord of infinite goodness,
by the miraculous making of this image of Mary Most Holy,
You hast given us a powerful intercessor
to whom we might have recourse with total confidence
in her amiable protection in our necessity.
Grant us the assistance that we are asking
with fervor and confidence so that we might know, honor,
and serve the Blessed Virgin,
and so that by her intercession,
we may achieve on this earth
our sanctification and afterwards,
be happy with her in Heaven.
Amen.
Day Two
O God, admirable in all Your works!
May You always convert the most hazardous occurrences of life
into proofs of Your mercies,
and in the most desperate storms
may You show us the preludes to Your prodigies in our favor,
just as You did with the Minorite brothers
by means of that terrifying storm.
Grant to us, through the intercession of the Queen of Good Success,
the virtue of patience, to suffer with a resigned spirit
the trials sent us by Your Divine Will,
because at any moment You can change them to consolations in this life
and afterwards grant us Your eternal reward in Heaven,
where we will always sing Your praise
and the praise of Holy Mary.
Amen.
Day Three
O God of Mercy, Who never leaves desolate
one who faithfully and fervently serves You
amid the misfortunes and dangers of life,
and Who leads us to find our Mother and advocate
as a refuge in our adversities,
grant us a tender and fervent heart
to search for Mary and find her,
always loving and protective,
so that we might serve her and merit,
through her intercession,
to lead a good and Christian life
and afterwards be with her forever in Heaven.
Amen.
Day Four
O God of infinite love!
You have given us in our Mother
a precious shelter and consolation,
placing her in the pathway of our hazardous lives
so that she might be a shield to defend us
in persecutions and dangers as Our Mother of Good Success.
Thankful for Your goodness,
may we correspond with the practice of virtue
and a tender and constant devotion to Mary Most Holy,
so that through her intercession we might find Heaven.
Amen.
Day Five
O Sovereign God!
You have given us Your highest counsel,
the Most Holy Virgin of Good Success,
as a companion to accompany us in our pilgrimage,
so that she might serve us as guide,
guard, and protectress in its conflicts.
We go, then, to her, filled with confidence
and finding the way easily on the journey
to the dwelling of our Eternal Father,
where all that we desire will be granted.
Enflame our hearts with love
for the Most Holy Virgin of Good Success
so we might offer them to this Holy Mother
with the gift of gratitude,
a firm and constant love,
and the conquering of our passions
by means of the great graces
received from Your merciful Hands.
Therefore might we always have her favor in this life
and her sweet assistance at death
so that we might merit eternal salvation.
Amen.
Day Six
O, inaccessible Light of Supernatural Truth
that illuminates our being with its Celestial Splendor
and leads us to Thee,
having for guide and protection
Your predilect creature Mary Most Holy,
illuminate our minds with the light of a firm and living faith.
It was such a faith that moved Our Mother of Good Success
to appear before the eyes
of that blessed Conceptionist religious
Mother Mariana de Jesus Torres.
Because we are anxious to enjoy supernatural goods,
help us to be less concerned about the things of this earth.
With the protection of Holy Mary
and a constant and sure faith in the revealed mysteries,
help us to live contemplating the brilliance of our final end
and anticipating the joy of seeing Thee
and Mary Most Holy for all eternity.
Amen.
Day Seven
O God of goodness,
Who rewarded the faith and zealous sentiments of piety
of Your chosen souls with visits of Mary Most Holy,
hear also our prayers that the presence
of this Statue of Good Success
might illuminate our faith
and increase our confidence
that she will benignly hear our prayers.
Grant us an ever increasing faith in Your paternal goodness;
make us ever more confident
that we will receive what we ask for.
Make us also ever more fervent in our prayers,
so that supported by the great valor of our powerful Patroness,
we might be freed from the dangers that threaten us,
serve You better, and win the honor of being in Your company
and that of Mary Most Holy in Heaven for all eternity.
Amen.
Day Eight
O God, loving guardian of pious persons, families and Communities,
Who in Your Providence did guard and protect them
because of their attention to prayer
and fulfillment of their duties of life,
hear now our prayers.
Be attentive to our cries,
enflame the light of our faith in Your powerful protection
so that we do not fear our enemies.
For if You assist us, nothing can harm us.
Grant us an unlimited confidence in Mary Most Holy of Good Success
and the grace of obedience to and observance of our Rule
[or to the fulfillment of the duties of our particular state of life],
so that we might be worthy of a Mother so holy
and a Protectress so powerful.
May we always be Your grateful and docile subjects,
so that one day we may sing with glory Your praises in Heaven,
You Who has favored Mary as Daughter,
Mother and Spouse of the Most Holy Trinity,
the one God Who lives forever and ever.
Amen.
Day Nine
Oh God! Tender Father of Your creatures
Who in every manner demonstrates Your paternal care and guidance for us,
principally by giving us Mary Most Holy
as our advocate, protectress, and model ideal of virtue,
infuse our hearts with a constant desire to imitate our Mother and Queen,
modeling our thoughts, desires, and actions after those of Mary Most Holy
so that we might be like Her in all that our fragile nature permits.
Assisted by Your Divine Grace,
may we conquer our passions and receive the choicest graces
that our Mother grants to her children
who confidently come to her as Advocate in their pressing needs.
May we find her ready to assist us in the last difficult moment of life,
and afterward enjoy the pleasure of her company in Heaven forever and ever.
