Prayer to Our Lady of Sorrows
 

Father, As your Son was raised on the cross,
 His mother Mary stood by Him, sharing His suffering.
May she, who is also our spiritual Mother
and Patroness in heaven, help us to find renewed strength
 at the cross of Christ and so to come to share
 in His rising to new life, where He lives and reigns with you
and the Holy Spirit, one God forever and ever.
 AMEN.
