The Most Gentle Queen of Palestine


O Mary Immaculate,
gracious Queen of Heaven and of Earth,
we beseech you to turn a pitying glance upon Palestine,
which more than any other country belongs to you,
and from there you have given the Redeemer to the world.

 

Watch, therefore, with special protection
over your native country, bring Peace and

Justice to the people of the Holy Land.

 

Obtain for us all the grace to serve

the Lord in sanctity and justice during all

the days of our life, so that by the merits of Jesus and 

your motherly aid, we can pass at last from this earthly 

Jerusalem to the splendors of the Heavenly one.

Amen.

(“Patroness of the Order of the Holy Sepulchre”)
