This prayer has brought countless graces and miracles to those who pray it with confidence.
In Honour of the Sacred Passion
Ever glorious and blessed Mary,
Queen of Virgins, Mother of Mercy,
Hope and Comfort of dejected souls,
through that sword of sorrow
which pierced thy tender heart
whilst thy only Son, Jesus Christ our Lord,
suffered death and ignominy on the Cross;
through that filial tenderness
and pure love He had for thee, grieving at thy grief,
while from His Cross He recommended thee
to the care and protection of His beloved disciple, Saint John,
take pity, I beseech thee, on my poverty and necessities;
have compassion on my anxieties and cares;
assist and comfort me in all my infirmities and miseries.
Thou art the Mother of Mercies,
the sweet Consoler and only refuge of the needy and the orphan,
of the desolate and afflicted.
Cast therefore an eye of pity on a wretched sinner
who has recourse to thee in this vale of tears,
and invoke for me the grace of thy divine Son,
that by His sacred Passion and by thy bitter tears
He may pardon my sins,
relieve my miseries,
and grant me the special favour I now ask…
(mention your request here)
O Mother of Sorrows,
most afflicted of all mothers,
have mercy on me and on the poor souls in Purgatory.
Obtain for me the spirit of perfect contrition,
a great love for Jesus crucified,
and the grace of final perseverance.
Thirty days will I offer this prayer
in honour of the thirty-three years
Our Lord spent on earth
and in memory of the seven dolors of thy Immaculate Heart.
Accept, most gracious Virgin,
this little tribute of my devotion,
and obtain for me from thy divine Son
the pardon of my sins,
the salvation of my soul,
and the grace I now implore.
Amen.
(To be prayed once each day for thirty consecutive days)
(after the main prayer)
O sorrowful and immaculate Heart of Mary,
pierced by the sword of grief,
intercede for us now and at the hour of our death.
Amen.
O most holy and sorrowful Virgin Mary,
I thank thee for having accepted my poor prayer
during these thirty days.
By thy powerful intercession
obtain for me the grace to love Jesus crucified
with all my heart
and to imitate thy virtues
until the hour of my death.
Amen.
