O sorrowful Mother, I turn to you in total trust. You suffered the sharpest pains in life, watching your Son die upon the Cross, and yet you remained by Him to the end. Look with favor upon me, a poor sinner, and obtain for me from your Son all the graces I need to endure the sufferings God allows me to face.
O Mother of Sorrows, through your tears and through your sorrows, intercede for me with the Sacred Heart of Jesus, and grant me the favor I implore.
Pause here for your need.
Remain with me in trial, help me not to lose heart, and teach me to unite my grief with the saving Cross of Christ. Amen.
