An Old French Prayer for Friends

Blessed Mother of those whose names you can read in
my heart, watch over them with every care. Make their
way easy and their labours fruitful. Dry their tears if they
weep; sanctify their joys; raise their courage if they
weaken; restore their hope if they lose heart, their health
if they be ill, truth if they err, and repentance if they fall.
Amen.
