O most Sorrowful and Immaculate Heart of Mary,
you became my Mother
during your extreme desolation
at the foot of the Cross and with the Apostle John.
I take you for my own Mother.
Let me always remember
that I am the child of your sorrows,
for what child would not want
to console his mother in her deepest sorrows..
May I live my life
so as to dry your tears
and console your afflicted heart.
Be my guardian during life O Mary
and defend me from the wiles and snares of the devil.
Be mindful of my prayer
whenever I call upon you in my needs and cares.
Please obtain for me all the graces I need
for the sanctification and salvation of my soul,
for you are the Mediatrix of All Graces,
you are the Co-Redemptrix of the world.
Amen
Brother Bartholomew
