Oh, Mother of Sorrows,I am wretched with sin.
I have lacked love
in my very complacency
that leadeth me from prayer,
from sacrifice,
from you.
You who loves Her Son,
The Son Who came to save us all,
Whom the world now rejects,
turns away from,
shuns,
denounces.
Oh, Mary, My Mother: I love you!
Help me in my decision
to always love,
to always act in charity,
to pray unceasingly for the world.
Help me sacrifice in union with Him.
Help me cling to all that is good and Holy.
Help me to love Him above all things.
Take this instrument of destruction from me
for with my will I have cut and beaten the Lord!
Move my heart with sorrow and pity!
Help me be faithful to the Father
in my love, as pitiable as it is, for the Son.
Help me be merciful
As He is merciful.
O, Blessed Mother, my Mother!
Ora pro nobis.
Christ, have mercy.
Amen.
