Prayer to Our Lady of Sorrows # 3

O holy mother,

most afflicted by the bitter sorrow

which thou didst endure at the foot of the Cross

during the Three Hours' agony of Jesus:

vouchsafe to assist all of us,

the children of thy sorrows,

in our last agony,

that through thine intercession

we may pass from the bed of death

to form a crown for thee in Heaven.

Say 3 of each...

Our Father...

Hail Mary...

O Mary, Mother of grace, Mother of Mercy,

protect us from the enemy

and receive us at the hour of death.

V. From sudden or unprovided death,

R. O Lord, deliver us.

V. From the snares of the devil,

R. O Lord, deliver us.

V. From everlasting death,

R. O Lord, deliver us.

Let us pray.

O God, who for the salvation of mankind

didst give an example and a help in the passion and Death of Thy Son:

grant, we beseech Thee,

that in the hour of our death

we may experience the effect of this Thy charity,

and deserve to be partakers in the glory of Him our Redeemer,

through the same Jesus Christ, our Lord.

R. Amen.

Jesus, Mary, and Joseph,

I give you my heart and my soul.

Jesus, Mary, and Joseph,

assist me in my last agony.

Jesus, Mary, and Joseph,

may I breathe forth my soul in peace with you.
