By St Alphonsus Liguori (1696-1787)
My Sorrowful Mother,
by the merit of that grief
which you felt
at seeing your beloved Jesus
led to death,
obtain for me the grace
to bear with patience,
those crosses
which God sends me.
I will be fortunate
if I also shall know how
to accompany you
with my cross until death.
You and Jesus,
both innocent,
have borne a heavy cross
and shall I,
a sinner,
who has merited hell,
refuse mine?
Immaculate Virgin,
I hope you will help me
to bear my crosses
with patience.
Amen.
