In his message, the Holy Father offers us the following prayer:

Sweet Mother, do not part from me.

Turn not your eyes away from me.

Walk with me at every moment

and never leave me alone.

You who always protect me

as a true Mother,

obtain for me the blessing of the Father,

Son and Holy Spirit.
