 * Be a mother ready at every moment to help us. * For God who is might * has done great things for you, * and his mercy is from age to age * on those who love him. * Our greatest fear is * that in time of temptation, * we may fail to call out to you, * and become lost children. * Intercede for ;us, dear Mother, * in obtaining pardon for our sins, * love for Jesus, * final perseverance, * and the grace always to call upon you, * Mother of Perpetual Help.

O Salutaris Hostia
O Solutaris Hostia, 
   Quae coeli pandis ostium! 
Bella premunt hostilia; 
   Do robur, fer auxilium. 
Uni Trinoque Domino, 
   Sit septerina glovia; 
Qui vitam sine termina 
   Dnbis donet in patria. Aman. 
 
 
Tantum Ergo
Tantum ergo Sacramentum 
   Vereremur cernui; 
Et atiquum document 
   Novo cedat ritui; 
Praestet fide supplementum 
Sesuum defetui. 

Genitori Genitoque 
   Las et jubilatio, 
Salaus, honor, virtus quoque, 
   Sit et benidictio; 
Procedenti ab utroque 
   Compar sit laudatio. Amen. 
(Priest) - panem de coelo praestitisti eis. (Alleluia.) 
(People) - Omne delectamentum in se habentem. (Alleluia) 
(Priest) - Oremus: Deus, qui nobis sub Sacramento 
mirabili passionis tuae memoriam reliquisti; tribue,
quaesumus, ita nos sorporis et sanginis tui sacra mysteria 
venerari ut redemtionis tuae fructum in nobis jugiter 
sentiamus: Qui vivis et regnas in saeclua saeclorum. 
(People) - Amen.
