O Almighty and merciful God! You gave us a wondrous help and defence in the most holy Virgin Mary and You honoured Her sacred image of Jasna Gora with remarkable veneration of the faithful. Grant in Your mercy that, under Her protection, we may struggle confidently throughout our lives and at the moment of death be victorious over our enemy. We ask this through Christ our Lord. Amen.
Lady of Jasna Gora, our Mother, Queen of Peace! Trusting in Your maternal goodness and powerful intercession with Your Son, we place before You our humble prayers and petitions. To You we commend all our needs, in particular... (mention a personal petition), our families and all children of our Nation, whether in their native land or elsewhere in the world.

For our negligence in the faith and for the religious indifference through which we have strayed so often from God, unmindful of his presence and love,
- we ask You, Mother, intercede for us.
For our conduct which has not always been in accord with our holy faith nor with the dignity of a child of God - for sins against life, for drunkenness, selfishness, carelessness, envy, social discord, and lax morals,
- we ask You, Mother, intercede for us.
For being so preoccupied with ourselves that we did not see the needs of our brothers and sisters - the hungry, the homeless, the sick, and the lonely,
- we ask You, Mother, intercede for us.

ACT OF THE CONSECRATRION TO THE MOTHER OF GOD
Mother of God, Immaculate Mary, to You I consecrate my body and soul, all my prayers, works, joys and sufferings, all that I am and possess. With eager heart I dedicate myself to You in a service of love. I give You complete freedom in making use of me for the salvation of men and the assistance of the Holy Church of which You are the Mother. From now on I wish to do everything with You, through You, and for You. I know that by my own strength I shall accomplish nothing. You, however, can do everything that is the will of Your Son, and You are always victorious. Grant then, Help of Christians, that my family, parish, and my country may truly be the Kingdom of Your Son and Yours. Amen.
