It is part of the post-communion prayer, which is said after the distribution of the Eucharist. The English translation of the prayer is: "Having received the sacrament of salvation, we beseech You, O Lord, that through the intercession of the Blessed Virgin Mary, whom You have given us as a Mother and whose festival we celebrate, we may obtain with the help of Your grace the eternal happiness which it promises. Through Christ our Lord. Amen.".
