O Mother of Sorrows, how deeply your heart was
pierced with sorrow when Simeon announced
that Jesus, your beloved Child, was to be a sign
that would be rejected. Your heart knew that He
was to be the suffering Messiah the prophets had
foretold, the man of sorrows, who would carry all
our sins and heal us by His wounds. Through this
bitter sorrow obtain for us the grace never to
reject Jesus or refuse Him anything. Help us to
completely surrender our lives to Him and to live
according to His most holy will in everything.
PRAY,
1 Our Father
