Prayer to Our Mother of Sorrows

Our mother of sorrows, 

with strength from above 

you stood by the cross, 

sharing in the sufferings of Jesus, 

and with tender care 

you bore Him in your arms, 

mourning and weeping.

We praise you for your faith, 

which accepted the life 

God planned for you. 

We praise you for your hope, 

which trusted that God 

would do great things in you. 

We praise you for your love 

in bearing with Jesus 

the sorrows of His passion.

Holy Mary, 

may we follow your example, 

and stand by all your children 

who need comfort and love.

Mother of God, 

stand by us in our trials 

and care for us 

in our many needs 

especially for (mention request). 

Pray for us now 

and at the hour of our death.

Amen.
