O sorrowful mother, I turn to you in total trust. You suffered the sharpest pains in life, watching your son die upon the cross, and yet you remained by him to the end. Look with favor upon me, a poor sinner, and obtain for me from your son all the graces I need to endure, the sufferings God allows me to face with courage and faith, and to share in the eternal joys of heaven.

Amen.
