Feast of Our Lady of Sorrows - The Seven Sorrows of Mary as seen through Art
TO THE MOTHER OF SORROWS
Most holy Virgin and Mother,
whose soul was pierced by a sword of sorrow
in the Passion of thy divine Son,
and who in His glorious Resurrection
was filled with never-ending joy at His triumph;
obtain for us who call upon thee,
so to be partakers in the adversities of Holy Church
and the sorrows of the Sovereign Pontiff,
as to be found worthy to rejoice
with them in the consolations
for which we pray,
in the charity and peace of the same Christ our Lord.
Amen.
