Initial Invocation
Crucified Jesus! Prostrate at your
feet, we offer you the tears of Her, Who with Intimate, sympathetic
love accompanied you on Your painful Way of the Cross. Grant, O good
Master that we take to heart the lessons which the tears of Your Most
Holy Mother afford us, so that we may thus fulfill Your Holy Will on
earth that we may become worthy to laud and bless You in Heaven for all
Eternity. Amen!
Before each of the
following petitions pray:
"O Jesus! Look upon the tears of Her,
Who loved You most while on earth And who loves You most intimately in
Heaven."
After each petition pray
seven times:
"O Jesus! Hear our petitions For the
sake of the tears of Your Most Holy Mother."
