The Fifth Sword of Sorrow: Mary stands near the Cross of her Son Jesus

(John 19:25-27

O Mother of Sorrows, here the prophecy of
Simeon comes to its ultimate fulfillment: the
sword of sorrow impales your heart as you stand
beneath the Cross of your Son. Crucified
spiritually with your crucified Son, you offered
Him to the Father and united yourself completely
to His self-offering and sacrificial death. We
simply cannot fathom the pain of your offering or
the depth of love that inspired it. Through this
bitter sword of sorrow obtain for us the grace to
unite all our sufferings to our crucified Lord with
unselfish generosity and love.
Our Father & seven Hail Mary’s
Holy Mother hear my prayers, and renew in my heart
each wound of Jesus my Saviour.

PRAY,

• 1 Our Father

• 7 Hail Mary’s

PRAY,

• Holy Mother hear my prayers, and renew in my heart each wound of Jesus my Savior.
