Concluding Prayer for the First Day
O sovereign Queen and Mother, Mary, I humbly beseech

of my soul whose only Creator and Father is God
himself, who made it fully capable to enjoy the essence
of the Holy Trinity; make my soul restless amidst the
earthly things until it possess the infinite goodness. Help
me Virgin of Peñafrancia, Queen and Mistress of the
Bicol Region that I may not degenerate from such a
noble and sublime origin, nor may I tarnish with
ingratitude the honor of having a soul like unto God, but
on the contrary, that with a generous spirit I may live
performing meritorious deeds that will enable me to
enjoy the possession of my God and Lord. Amen.

Concluding Prayer for the Second Day

Most wise Queen and Mother Mary, I humbly beseech

which allows us to commit errors and to lose the clear
insight into thy perfection. Grant that enlightened by thy
grace in the election of the state of life that I should lead,
and of the profession that I should take, I may, without
odds or difficulties, attain the ultimate end for which I
ought to offer all the things of this life, the eternal
beatitude, where I may bless and enjoy God for all
eternity. Amen.

Calvary, that I may from time to time think of the high
price paid for my redemption and that; I may appreciate
it deeply, seeing to it that the fruits are not spoiled by my
vices. Grant finally, that the memory of thy sorrows and

who do Him evil, that we may likewise tolerate the
wrongs of our fellowmen; that we may bear patiently

sacred name which means “hope” this most important
theological virtue with which we may strengthen our

power of our Lord for whom nothing is impossible in this
life, we hope to refrain the impulses of our passions and
tread peacefully the path that leads to eternal life, that
thus through piety and devotion, we may all attain, after
conquering our enemies, the beatitude for which we were
created and wherein we shall live eternally grateful to

In thee our hope we place, O Lady most divine.

We hope alone through Thee,

The glory of heaven to see,
Its bliss to enjoy forever, Forsake us not,
O Mary,For in this vale of tears We mortals ever tarry
Engulfed in darksome fears. (Repeat Refrain.)

Save us, O Mother dear,

So full of true compassion,
The evil serpent near,
Would lead us to temptation,
Pray that to us descend
The grace that lights the way,
That we with joy may end
The Serpent’s mortals sway. (Repeat Refrain)

Direct the ships aright,
Amidst the darkness hidden,
And off disaster‟s way
Do guide the sailors‟ brave,
From pagan waves we pray
The world is save. (Repeat Refrain)

O Dawn, thou who dost open,

The gates of heaven come
And bring the joy and hope To every home.
Do break the chains that bind
The Christian captive‟s feet, And let the echoing wind
Their freedom‟s song repeat. (Repeat Refrain)

Over our land thy fame, Mother of God on high

Our humble prayers acclaim, Hear thou, hear lovingly
O Virgin, thee we praise, Our Mother, Queen of Love Do
thou our prayers raise To God in heaven above.

The Bicol region and this world all Acclaim thee as their
Mother, With grateful heart they call
And cheer thee as none other, In voices they proclaim
thee Celestial Irish true,
Relief and remedy That all our plaques subdue.

I believe in God, the Father Almighty, Creator of Heaven and
earth; and in Jesus Christ, His only Son, Our Lord, Who was
conceived by the Holy Spirit, born of the Virgin Mary,
suffered under Pontius Pilate, was crucified, died, and was
buried. He descended into Hell,
on the third day He arose again from the dead. He ascended
into Heaven, and is seated at the right hand of God the Father
Almighty; from thence He shall come to judge the living and
the dead.
I believe in the Holy Spirit, the holy Catholic Church,
the communion of saints, the forgiveness of sins, the
resurrection of the body, and the life everlasting. Amen.
Our Father
Our Father, Who art in heaven, hallowed be Thy name.
Thy kingdom come, Thy will be done, on earth as it is in
heaven. Give us this day our daily bread, and forgive us our
trespasses as we forgive those who trespass against us, and
lead us not into temptation, but deliver us from evil. Amen.

Hail Mary
