You Virgin Mary, Our Lady of Seven Sorrows,
You who shared in the most intense suffering
of the passion and crucifixion of your beloved Son, Jesus,
We turn to you in our own pain
and in our moments of despair.
By contemplating the pains you endured,
we find encouragement, strength and hope
to persevere in our own way of the cross.
You who witnessed God's immense love
manifested through the sufferings of your Son,
Help us to see God's presence in our own sufferings,
and to offer them with an open and trusting heart.
Our Lady of the Seven Sorrows,
Intercede for us with your Son,
that we may find comfort, healing and peace
in the trials and pains of life.
May your example of faith, hope and love
guide us in our darkest moments,
and help us to remain faithful to God's will,
as you did throughout your life.
We entrust to you our sufferings, our fears and our doubts,
and we ask you to present them to Jesus,
that He may transform them into a source of grace and redemption.
Our Lady of Seven Sorrows, pray for us
and for all who suffer in this world,
that we may find consolation in you,
and be strengthened in our faith and love for God.
Amen.
