“Bless our families and protect our country, cradle of so many saints who loved you and imitated you with fervor,” the text continues, imploring help “so that with nobility of soul we may be builders of peace and unity.”
The text concludes like this: “Never allow us to grieve your Mother’s Heart. Accept this prayer that we address to you as Children of the Church in Spain and give us light so that all our decisions are always guided by your heart, which is a refuge and stimulus for our conversion. Put us with Jesus and write our names today in your Immaculate Heart.”
