Prayer to the Virgin Mary for Protection
Asking Mary's motherly shelter from harm
This prayer turns to Mary as a mother who shelters her children, asking for her protection in a spirit similar to the ancient Sub Tuum Praesidium, one of the earliest known prayers to Mary.
O Virgin Mary, Mother of God, beneath your protection we take refuge. Do not despise our petitions in our needs, but deliver us always from every danger, O glorious and blessed Virgin. Shield those I love from harm this day, and keep us close to your Son, Jesus, now and always. Amen.
