numerous are our wants, trials and sorrows often depress
us; reverses of fortune and privations, often grave,
bring misery into our homes; everywhere we meet the
cross.
Have
pity, compassionate Mother, on us and our families.
At this moment we bring to you our special necessity
from which we suffer (mention it... pause...) Help us,
O Mother, in our distress; deliver us from all ills;
or, if it be the will of God that we should endure,
make us suffer with love and patience.
Grant
us, unworthy as we are, O Lady, the faith and devotion
which our forefathers in this city showed towards you,
when they lovingly called you. Our Lady of Mylapore...
Amen
