“Por estos misterios santos de que hemos hecho recuerdo, te pedimos, ¡oh María!, de la Fe santa, el aumento, la exaltación de la Iglesia; del Papa el mejor acierto. Que el gentil conozca a Dios. Que todos los pecadores tengamos arrepentimiento. Que los enfermos tengan la salud. Que en el purgatorio logren las ánimas refrigerio. Y que este santo sacrificio tenga efecto tan completo en toda la cristiandad, que alcancemos por su medio, el ir a alabar a Dios en tu compañía en el cielo. Amén.” (De las Siervas de los Corazones Traspasados de Jesús y María)
