MARIAN PRAYERS OF SAINT BONAVENTURE Nr. 2 (A.D. 1218-1274)

Have mercy on me, O Lady,

for my enemies have trodden upon me every day:

all their thoughts are turned to evil against me.

Stir up fury, and be mindful of war:

and pour out your anger upon them.

Renew wonders and change marvelous things:

let us feel the help of your arm.

Distill upon us the drops of your sweetness:

For you are the cupbearer of the sweetness of grace.
