Saint John Bosco’s powerful prayer to Our Lady

Saint John Bosco always had a deep and personal devotion to Our Lady Help of Christians, which he promoted widely.

He composed this powerful prayer to Her, which you should find most inspiring: 

Mary, most powerful Virgin,
You are the mighty and glorious Protector of the Church.
You are the marvelous Help of Christians.
You are awe-inspiring as an army in battle array.
You have destroyed heresy in the world.
In the midst of our anguish, our struggle and our distress
defend us from the power of the enemy,
and at the hour of our death receive our soul into heaven. Amen.
