A Prayer to the Mater Dolorosa

7 sorrows

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
