Psalm 90
PROTECTION
He who remains firm, with the assistance of the most high, will surely rest in the protection of the god of heaven.
He will say to the Lord: you are my defender and my refuge; he is my god, in him I will put all my hope. For it is he who delivered me from the snare of the hunters and from pernicious speech.
He will cover you with his shoulders and under his wings you will discover hope. His truth will surround you like a shield; you will have nothing to fear from nocturnal terrors. Neither of the arrow that flies by day, nor of the undertakings of one who crawls in darkness, nor of the attacks of diurnal or nocturnal demons.
A thousand will fall on your left and ten thousand on your right: not a single one will come near you. And you will even be able to consider and see with your eyes the punishment of the sinner.
Because you said: lord, you are my only hope. It is in the highest that you have placed your refuge.
Evil will not be able to reach you and no plague will invade your home. For for you he commanded his angels to keep you in all your ways. They will carry you in their hands, lest you strike your feet against the stone. You will walk on the asp and the basilisk and with your heel you will strike the lion and the dragon.
For whoever hopes in me, I will deliver him, I will protect him, because he has recognized my name.
As soon as he cries out to me, I will deliver him; I am with him in affliction; I will pluck it out and glorify it.
I will fill him with long days and I will show him my salvation.
30-DAY ORAISON
Whoever will say the following prayer the space of thirty days, in honor of the most holy Passion of Our Lord J-C. And of the Blessed Virgin Mary, his Mother, will obtain mercifully the effect of all his lawful requests: what we have often seen by experience. (without missing a day and reading it with faith)
Before and after the prayer, read aloud a Our Father and a Salue Marie
Holy Mary, eternal Virgin of the Virgin, Mother of mercy, Mother of grace, and hope of all the desperate: by that sword of pain that crossed your soul, when your only-begotten Son Jesus Christ our Lord endured the death-punishment on the Cross, by this filial affection which made compassion to your maternal sorrow, and made him take care to recommend you to his beloved disciple Saint John, heir to the very perfect love he brought you: I beg you to bring compassion and all together to remedy the anxiety, the affliction, the infirmity, the poverty, the pain, and some other kind of necessity in which I found myself. O assured refuge of the wretched, O sweet consolation of the afflicted, O Mother of mercy very pitiful. Consoler of the desolate, and very prompt Liberator of the Orphans in all their necessities! See the tears of my loneliness and my misery, and for what I see myself overwhelmed with evils and anxieties, because of my sins, I do not know whom to turn to, if not to you, my dear Lady, very sweet Virgin Mary, Mother of Our Lord Jesus Christ, to whom you are conformed and similar as the Reformer of humanity who is yours. I beg you to lend the ear of your ordinary pity, and of your mercy accustomed to my prayers, and I entreat you by the entrails of your most gentle and merciful Son, by the gentleness he felt at the time of his covenant with human nature, which he deliberated jointly with the Father and the Holy Spirit, to take our mortal flesh for our salvation; and then, oh well-blessed Virgin, the Angel bore you the news, the Holy Ghost making you a shade, he covered himself with our morality, and remained nine months in your virginal bosom, true God and true man; then, having expired by the co-operation of the Holy Ghost, he deigned to visit the world. By the anguish that your own Son had in his heart, when he prayed to his Eternal Father on the Mount of Olives, that if he could do, he would be delivered from the Chalice of his Passion. By this triple prayer, as also by that sad step of which you followed him weeping, without ever abandoning him in all the obstacles of his Death and Passion. By opprobrium and outrage, spitting, bellowing, mockery, false testimony, and the unjust judgment against him. By this seamless dress, won by the chance of the game; by these links and these lashes; by the tears he shed three times, by the drops of his sweat of blood, by his patience and his silence, by his fear, his boredom and the sadness of his heart, by the shame he received seeing himself naked in the Cross during your presence, O pitiful Virgin, and that of all the people! By his Royal Chief, by his divine blood, by his broken reed, by his crown of thorns, by the thirst, by the disgust he had of vinegar soaked with gall, by the spear which pierced his Sacred Side, by the blood and water that flowed from his wounds, and we were strong sources of grace and mercy.
By the nails with which the feet and his hands were pierced, by the recommendation he made of his dear soul to his Father, by his gentle spirit, which he delivered, crying out loudly:
My God, my God, why have you forsaken me? And bowing his head, he says:
Everything is consumed! By the breaking of the veil of the Temple and the stones, by the eclipse of the Sun and the Moon, by the mercy he exercised towards the good Larron, by his passion and his cross, by his descent to Limbo, by the joy that he communicated in his visit to all just souls, by the honor and glory of his triumphant Resurrection, by the apparitions he made the space of forty days to you, O Blessed Virgin! To the apostles, and to the other souls delivered. By his ascension, in which at the sight of all the apostles he was lifted up into heaven; by the grace of the Holy Spirit Comforter whom he poured into the heart of his disciples in the form of a tongue of fire, and by themselves he had it carried to all parts of the earth. By the terrible day of Judgment to which He must come to judge the living and the dead, and everyone by fire; by all the compassion that you had with him in this world, by the sweetness of his kisses, by the ineffable joy of your Assumption, day in which in the presence and in the company of your Son you were delighted in Heaven, where you are filled eternal joys and delights. I ask you to make my heart partake of it, and now to listen to my prayer, and to grant me the request that I make you with all the humility and devotion I can.
Ask here what you will like
And as I know very well that your Son honors you so much, that he can not refuse you anything; Oh, my dear Mother! May I easily and promptly, fully and effectively feel the succor of your most merciful heart, and according to the will of your most gentle Son, who does the will of those who fear him and who are pleased with him, according to the prayer and desire of their heart, and according to the necessity in which I find myself in many things, and principally in this one, for which I invoke your holy name and the virtue of his help, so that it pleases you to obtain me from your most gracious Son a firm hope, a perfect charity in the Catholic Faith, a true contrition of heart, a source of holy tears, a sincere and perfect confession, a worthy and sufficient satisfaction, a diligent vigilance on me for the future a great contempt of the world, a true love of my God and of my neighbor, a limitation of the pains of your dear Son, and even death, if it is necessary to endure, an accomplishment of my vows, the perseverance to good wishes a saving which is acceptable to you, a happy death, and a true repentance at the end of my life, with a good sense, a free word and a fine judgment; lastly, eternal life in the company of the souls of my parents, my friends, my brothers, my sisters, and my benefactors, both alive and dead. So be it.
Hail Mary
full of grace,
the Lord is with thee.
Blessed art thou among women,
and blessed is the fruit of thy womb, Jesus.
Holy Mary, mother of God,
pray for us sinners,
now and at the hour of our death.
Amen.

of my salvation; always be my help God of my salvation.
Thursday. - Enlighten my eyes with a real light, so that they do not
do not be closed to an eternal sleep, lest my enemy take place
to say that I had the advantage over him. As long as the Lord is with me,
I will not fear the malignity of my enemies. O very sweet Jesus,
preserve me, help me, save me; only to quote the name of
Jesus, every knee bows, both heavenly, earthly, and infernal, and all
language publishes that Our Lord Jesus Christ enjoys the glory of his
Father. So be it. I know, without a doubt, that as soon as I invoke
the Lord in a few hours, I will be saved. Very soft
Lord Jesus Christ, Son of the great living God, who made such great
miracles by the mere strength of your very precious name, and have enriched so
abundantly the needy, since by his strength the demons fled, the

spoke, the lepers were cleansed, the crippled, the dead
resurrected; for as soon as we pronounced the very sweet name of Jesus,
the ear was delighted, and the mouth filled with the most agreeable;
at this single pronunciation, I say, the demons fled, every knee
sagged, all temptations, even the worst were
uprooted, all cured infirmities, all the disputes and struggles that
are and were between the world, the flesh and the devil were dispelled, and one
was filled with all heavenly, because whoever invoked or

in the womb of the Virgin was and will be saved.

me, that he may keep me, that he may be above me, that he may bless me,
let him be in me, that he may vivify me; let him be with me, so that he
govern me, let him be above me to strengthen me; whether
always with me to deliver me from all the sorrows of death
eternal, who lives and reigns for ever and ever. So be it.
Saturday. - Jesus son of Mary, salvation of the world, may the Lord be
favorable, gentle and propitious, that he grant me a healthy and voluntary spirit
to give him the honor and respect that are due him, he who is the
liberator of the world. Nobody can get their hands on him because his
time had not come yet, he who is, who was and always will be, was
God and man, beginning and end.
May this prayer that I make to him guarantee me eternally against my enemies.
So be it. Jesus of Nazareth, King of the Jews, honorable title, Son of the Virgin Mary, have mercy
from me, poor sinner, and lead me according to your sweetness in the way
eternal salvation. So be it.
But Jesus passing, went in the midst of them, and no one put his murderous hand on
Jesus, because his time had not come yet.
But Jesus, knowing the things that were due him
to arrive, came forward and said to them, "What are you looking for? ". They him
answered, "Jesus of Nazareth." Jesus said to them, "It's me."
Now Judas who was to deliver him was with them. As soon as he told them that
it was him, they fell to the ground. Jesus asked them to
rechef: "What are you looking for? They said to him again, "Jesus of
Nazareth ". Jesus answered them, "I have already told you that it was me."
If you're looking for me, let them go (talking about his
followers).
The spear, the nails, the cross (cross), the thorns, the death that I have
suffered, prove that I have erased and expiated the crimes of the wretched:
preserve me Lord Jesus Christ, from all wounds of poverty and pitfalls
of my enemies, may the five wounds of Our Lord serve me
continually remedy.
Jesus is the way (cross), Jesus is the life (cross),
Jesus is the truth (cross), Jesus suffered (cross), Jesus was crucified
(cross), Jesus, Son of the living God have mercy on me (cross).
May those prayers that I have made to you, O Jesus, guarantee me eternally
against my enemies, against every puck all danger. So be it!
