Prayer to the Sorrowful Mother for the Church and the Pontiff

Most Holy Virgin and Mother,

your soul was pierced by a sword of sorrow

in the passion of your divine Son,

and in His glorious resurrection,

you were filled with unending joy in His triumph!

Obtain for us who call upon you,

to be such partakers in the adversities of holy Church

and in 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.
