Immaculate Virgin Mary, Mother of God, conceived without the stain of original sin, and Co-redemptrix of the human race, thou didst take possession of the Philippine Islands in the distant days when the sixteenth century had just opened the route of the Holy Gospel. We humbly wish to acknowledge the numberless benefits thou hast unceasingly lavished upon our country, and thus obey the Church which has declared thee our Patroness under the title of thy Immaculate Conception.
Thou who art all beautiful and free from every stain of sin, must be the inspiration and the model of the Filipino family. Banish from our country the poisonous fruits of the infernal serpent, and turn our land into a paradise of Christian virtues, closed to error and to sin. We resolve under thy patronage to maintain in our homes the mutual fidelity between husband and wife, the Christian education of children, the love of labor and the practice of the works of mercy in behalf of our neighbor. Especially to the women here present, obedient to the Vicar of Jesus Christ, have recourse to thee, and promise to remove from them the defiling hand of materialism which has degraded the use of clothing into an incentive of sin.
We implore thy blessings upon our ecclesiastical and civil authorities. Bless our friends and benefactors at home and abroad. Give us high-minded superiors who will cooperate in Godโs government and paternal providence, and will successfully preserve the place the Philippines should occupy among the free nations of the world.
Grant us secure freedom for the Church among the faithful and the infidels, and assist the return of the prodigal children to the home of the heavenly Father. Fill us with the spirit of penance, which may allay Godโs anger against us, and bestow upon all nations the peace of Christ in the kingdom of Christ, to whom be all honor and glory. Amen.
