💔 Prayer to Our Lady of Sorrows

O most holy and afflicted Virgin,

Queen of Martyrs,

you stood beneath the cross,

witnessing the agony of your dying Son.

Look with a mother's tenderness and pity on me,

who kneel before you.

I venerate your sorrows and I place my requests

with filial confidence in the sanctuary of your wounded heart.

Present them, I beseech you, on my behalf to Jesus Christ,

through the merits of His own most sacred Passion and Death,

together with your sufferings at the foot of the cross;

and through the united efficacy of both,

obtain the grant of my present petition.

To whom shall I resort in my wants and miseries

if not to you, O Mother of Mercy,

who, having so deeply drunk of the chalice of your Son,

can compassionate the sorrows of those who still sigh

in the land of exile?

Amen.
