 ✝ In the name of the FATHER, and of the SON, and or the HOLY SPIRIT. Amen. 

                 I. O august Queen of victories, Virgin who reign in Paradise, whose mighty Name causes Heaven to rejoice and hell to tremble, O glorious Queen of the most holy Rosary, we, Your happy children chosen by Your goodness in this century to build You a temple at Pompeii, kneeling at Your Feet on this solemn day to commemorate Your latest triumphs on the spot where idols and demons were formerly worshipped, we pour out with tears the feelings of our hearts and with a filial confidence lay before You our miseries. 

From that Throne of Mercy where You sit as Queen, O Mary, turn down Your pitiful Eyes on us, on our families, on Italy, on Europe, and the whole Church; take into pity the afflictions which overwhelm us and the cares which embitter our life. You see, O Mother, how many dangers of soul and body, how many calamities and afflictions press upon us. 

O Mother, keep back the arm of Justice of Your indignant SON, and conquer by Your Mercy the hearts of sinners, since they are our brethren and Your children, redeemed through the Blood of our sweet JESUS and through the Wounds of Your most tender Heart pierced with the sword. Show Yourself to all in this day, as You are, the Queen of Peace and Mercy. 

V. Hail, Queen, Mother of Mercy, vouchsafe that I may praise You,

R. O sacred Virgin. Give me strength against Your enemies.

V. Pray for us, Queen of the most holy Rosary,

R. That we may be made worthy of the Promises of CHRIST. 

               II. It is but too true that we, although Your children, are the first who crucify JESUS in our hearts and wound anew Your Heart by our sins. We confess it, we deserve the severest chastisements; yet remember how You received, on the top of Golgotha, the last drops of that Divine Blood, and the Testament of our dying REDEEMER. And this Testament of a GOD, sealed with the Blood of a MAN-GOD, appointed You our Mother, the Mother of sinners. Thus, as our Mother, You are our Advocate and our Hope. To You, amidst sighs, do we lift up our hands, crying for Mercy! 

Have pity, good Mother, have pity on us, on our souls, on our families, on our relations, on our friends, on our departed brethren, above all, on our enemies, and on so many who claim the name of Christians, yet wound the loving Heart of Your SON. Pity, O Mother, we now implore You for pity on the erring nations, on all Europe, on the whole world, that they may repair repentant to Your Heart. Be merciful to all, O Mother of Mercy. 

V. Hail, Queen, Mother of Mercy, vouchsafe that I may praise You,

R. O sacred Virgin. Give me strength against Your enemies.

V. Pray for us, Queen of the most holy Rosary,

R. That we may be made worthy of the Promises of CHRIST. 

              III. What does it cost You, O Mary, to hear us? What does it cost You to save us? Did not JESUS entrust to Your Hands all the Treasures of His Graces and Mercies? You sit as Queen at the right Hand of Your SON, crowned with immortal Glory, above all the choirs of Angels. You extend Your dominion as far as the heavens expand, the earth and all the creatures that people it are subject to You. Your Power even reaches hell; and You alone, O Mary, can rescue us from the devil's grasp. You are almighty by Grace, and therefore You can save us. Now if You say You wilI not help us because we are ungrateful children and unworthy of Your protection, tell us at least to whom shall we have recourse in order to be released from so many evils? Oh! No, Your maternal Heart will never bear to see the ruin of Your children. The Divine CHILD we behold on Your Knees, the mystical crown we admire in Your Hand, both inspire us with hope that we will be heard. And full of confidence in You, we throw ourselves at Your Feet, we trust ourselves as feeble children into the arms of the tenderest amongst mothers and today, this very day, we expect from You the Graces we are longing for.

V. Hail, Queen, Mother of Mercy, vouchsafe that I may praise You,

R. O sacred Virgin. Give me strength against Your enemies.

V. Pray for us, Queen of the most holy Rosary,

R. That we may be made worthy of the Promises of CHRIST. 

Let us ask Mary for Her blessing 

We now ask of You, O Queen, a last favor which You cannot refuse on this solemn day. Grant to all of us Your constant Love and in a special manner Your maternal blessing. No, we will not leave Your Feet today nor cease clasping Your Knees till You hast blessed us.

Bless now, O Mary, the sovereign Pontiff: to the first laurels of Your crown, to the ancient trophies of the Rosary, whence You are called Queen of victories, add also this one, O Mother, grant triumph to religion and peace to mankind.

Bless our Bishop, the priests and particularly those who promote the honor of Your Sanctuary;

Bless finally all those who are associated to Your new temple of Pompeii and who practice and spread devotion to Your most holy Rosary.

O blessed Rosary of Mary, sweet chain which unites us to GOD, bond of Love, which connects us with the Angels, tower of safety against the assaults of hell, sure harbor in the universal shipwreck, never more shall we part with You; You shall be our comfort in the hour of agony: to You the last kiss of our life; and the last word of our dying lips shall be Your sweet Name, O Queen of the Rosary of Valle di Pompei.

Mother dear, only refuge of sinners, supreme comforter of the afflicted, blessed be Your Name, now and forever, on earth and in Heaven.

Amen. 

V. Hail, Queen, Mother of Mercy, vouchsafe that I may praise You,

R. O sacred Virgin. Give me strength against Your enemies.

V. Pray for us, Queen of the most holy Rosary,

R. That we may be made worthy of the Promises of CHRIST.
