In our own time of sorrow, we turn to the Mother of Sorrows, Mary, for comfort. In this prayer card, we have an image of the Blessed Mother looking down at the crown of thorns. On the back of the prayer card is a prayer to the Mother of Sorrow.
O Mother of Sorrows, by the anguish
and love with church thou didst stand
at the Cross of Jesus, stand by me in
my last agony. To thy maternal heart I
commend the last three hours of my
life.
Offer these hours to the Eternal Father
in union with the agony of our dearest
Lord in atonement for my sins.
Offer to the Eternal Father the most
Precious Blood of Jesus, mingled with
your tears in Calvary, that I may
obtain the grace of receiving Holy
Communion with the most perfect love
and contrition before my death, and
that I may breathe forth my soul in the
adorable presence of Jesus.
Dearest Mother, when the moment of
my death has at length come, present
me as your child to Jesus. Ask Him to
forgive me for having offended Him for
I know not what I did.
Beg Him to receive me into His
Kingdom of glory to be united with
Him forever. Amen.
