Novena to our Lady of Sorrows ~Day 7 ~


Seventh Day Prayer in honor of the Seventh Sorrow of Mary
The Burial of Jesus
Most Sorrowful Virgin, sorrow again filled thy Heart when the Sacred Body of Jesus thy Son was taken from thy arms, and placed in a cold grave. Yet thou did not doubt that He would rise again.
Queen of Martyrs, let me join thee in thy sorrow, and grant me thy own deep, trusting faith in the word of thy Son. Let me trust that even in suffering, even when all seems lost, with Jesus there is always a way out.
Obtain for me too, a sincere sorrow for all my sins, a burning love for my God, a tender devotion to thee, so that one day, I may die in His grace and, with Him, rise to eternal life.

Hail Mary

Prayer to our Sorrowful Mother for a particular grace

Most blessed and afflicted Virgin, Queen of Martyrs, who didst stand generously beneath the holy Cross, beholding the agony of thy dying Son; by the sword of sorrow which then pierced thy soul, by the sufferings of thy sorrowful life, by the unutterable joy which now more than repays thee for them;
look down with a mother’s pity and tenderness, as I kneel before thee to compassionate thy sorrows, and to lay my petition with childlike confidence in thy wounded heart.
I beg of thee, O my Mother, to plead continually for me with thy Son, since He can refuse thee nothing, and through the merits of His most sacred Passion and Death, together with thy own sufferings at the foot of the cross, so to touch His Sacred Heart, that I may obtain my request (pause and pray)
For to whom shall I fly in my wants and miseries, if not to thee, O Mother of mercy, who, having so deeply drunk the chalice of thy Son, canst most pity us poor exiles, still doomed to sigh in this vale of tears? Offer to Jesus but one drop of His Precious Blood, but one pang of His adorable Heart; remind Him that thou art our life, our sweetness, and our hope, and thou wilt obtain what I ask, through Jesus Christ our Lord. Amen.

Hail Mary, Virgin Most Sorrowful, pray for us. (Seven times)

Memorare
Remember, O most gracious Virgin Mary, that never was it known that anyone who fled to thy protection, implored thy help or sought thy intercession, was left unaided.
Inspired by this confidence, I fly unto thee, O Virgin of Virgins, my Mother.
To thee do I come, before thee I stand, sinful and sorrowful.
O Mother of the Word Incarnate, despise not my petitions, but in thy mercy, hear and answer me. Amen
