The prayer from the sermon 'Pierced with Thorns' given on 15 September 2018
O my afflicted mother, Queen of martyrs and of sorrows, thou didst bitterly weep over thy Son who died for my salvation. But what will thy tears avail me if I am lost? By the merits then of thy sorrows, obtain for me true contrition for my sins and a real amendment of life.
Oh my Mother, the most Sorrowful of all mothers, I will not leave thee alone to weep. No, I will accompany thee with my tears. This grace I now ask of thee: obtain that I may always bear in mind and always have a tender devotion towards the passion of Jesus and thy sorrows, that the remainder of my days may thus be spent in weeping over thy sufferings, my own Sweet Mother, and those of my Redeemer. Amen.
