| Father Paul Wattson, pray for us. |
The Devotion to Our Lady of the Atonement began in the Episcopal Church with Father Paul Wattson, the visionary Franciscan of Graymoor who conceived of the Octave of Prayer for Christian Unity and also promoted devotion to Our Lady of the Red Mantle that is, Our Lady of the Atonement.

Mother Lurana of Graymoor,
pray for us.

When Father Paul and his company of Franciscan faithful left the Episcopal Church and entered the Catholic Church, they brought this devotion with them. It was embraced and honoured by the Holy Father and the Octave for Christian Unity gave rise to the worldwide week of prayer for Christian unity. The Franciscans of the Atonement in the Catholic Church are the order founded by Fr. Paul Wattson.

MEMORARE OF ST. BERNARD (said by all, together)
Remember, O most gracious Virgin Mary, that never was it known that anyone who fled to thy protection, implored thy help, or sought thy intercession, was left unaided. Inspired with this confidence, I fly unto thee, O Virgin of virgins, my Mother. To thee do I come; before thee I stand, sinful and sorrowful. O Mother of the Word Incarnate, despise not my petitions, but in thy mercy, hear and answer me. Amen.
THE THREE-FOLD SALUTATION (said by all, together)
We salute thee, Holy Mary, Daughter of God the Father, and entreat thee to obtain for us a devotion like thine own to the most sweet Will of God. We salute thee, Virgin Mother of God the Son, and entreat thee to obtain for us such union with the Sacred Heart of Jesus, that our own hearts may burn with love for God and an ardent zeal for the salvation of souls.
We salute thee, Immaculate Spouse of God the Holy Ghost, and entreat thee to obtain for us such yielding of ourselves to the Blessed Spirit, that He may, in all things, direct and rule our hearts, and that we may never grieve Him in thought, word, or deed.
