Our Lady of Conception in ivory.
Our Lady of Canceção Prayer:
Immaculate, Most Holy and Pure Lady,
Mother of Mercy, Mother of Grace,
hope and refuge for all who are afflicted,
for everything I can represent to you
and more can oblige you,
I ask you for the Supreme Pontiff and other Prelates of the Holy Church,
and for Peace among Christian princes, exaltation of the Catholic Holy Faith,
extirpation of heresies, conversion of infidels
and of all those who, shaken by the spirit of unbelief,
hesitate or doubt Your powers and wonders.
I attracted everyone, Lady, so that, surrendered,
sing due praises to you.
O most loving Mother,
Place the eyes of your compassion on our beloved country.
Destroy, O mighty Mother,
any principle of error that there may be among us,
for all Portuguese, in imitation of our greatest,
united by the Catholic faith and supported by your love,
form like a bulwark
and be the defenders and supporters of Your royalty.
I surrender to You, Lady, with faith, reverence and humility,
as much as possible within my limited strength,
my services of affectionate devotion.
Please, therefore, accept my good will
and that of all who seek You with such ardor.
Show that you are a Mother of immense piety and mercy,
and that you are our refuge, our support,
and the effective remedy for all our ills.
Therefore I ask You, O most pure Mother,
that you deign to console those who call upon you,
remedying as you know and can
all your needs.
Do not deny me your patronage, because,
After God, in You I place all my trust,
as the only anchor of salvation and remedy;
grant me this favor and with it also
what I particularly ask of you
(here you can state the private prayer):
Grant me your most ardent love,
a fervent zeal for your honor and glory,
a living faith, a firm hope, and perfect charity,
and at the hour of my death deign to assist me and comfort me,
reaching me the final grace, so that,
for your merits and powerful intercession,
and by the mystery of your most pure Conception
deserves to come and see you and enjoy your company in Heaven
in the sight of your Holy Son,
who lives with the Father and the Holy Spirit
and reigns for all ages.
So be it.
