| Pray for us, most Sorrowful
Virgin, |
That we may be made worthy
of the promises of Christ. |
|
Let us pray, --- O God, in Whose Passion, according to the prophecy of Simeon, a sword of
grief pierced through the most sweet soul of Thy glorious Blessed Virgin Mother Mary;
grant that we, who celebrate the memory of her Seven Sorrows, may obtain the happy effect
of Thy Passion, Who lives and reigns world without end,
Amen |

Consecration to Our Lady of Sorrows
Most holy Virgin and Queen of Martyrs, Mary, would that I could be in Heaven, there to
contemplate the honors rendered to thee by the Most Holy Trinity and by the whole Heavenly
Court! But since I am still a pilgrim in this vale of tears, receive from me, thy unworthy
servant and a poor sinner, the most sincere homage and the most perfect act of vassalage a
human creature can offer thee.
In thy Immaculate Heart, pierced with so many swords of sorrow, I place today my poor soul
forever; receive me as a partaker in thy dolors, and never suffer that I should depart
from that Cross on which thy only begotten Son expired for me.
With thee, O Mary, I will endure all the sufferings, contradictions, infirmities, with
which it will please thy Divine Son to visit me in this life. All of them I offer to thee,
in memory of the Dolors which thou didst suffer during thy life, that every thought of my
mind, every beating of my heart may henceforward be an act of compassion to thy Sorrows,
and of complacency for the glory thou now enjoyest in Heaven.
Since then, O Dear Mother, I now compassionate thy Dolors, and rejoice in seeing thee
glorified, do thou also have compassion on me, and reconcile me to thy Son Jesus, that I
may become thy true and loyal son (daughter); come on my last day and assist me in
my last agony, even as thou wert present at the Agony of thy Divine Son Jesus, that from
this painful exile I may go to Heaven, there to be made partaker of thy glory.
Amen |
