Perpetual Novena Prayer to Our Lady of Sorrows

O, Mother most holy and sorrowful, Queen of Martyrs, you who stood by your Son as He agonized on the cross; by the sufferings of your life, by that sword of pain that pierced your heart, by your perfect joy in heaven, look down on us kindly as we kneel before you, sympathizing with your sorrows and offering you our petitions with childlike trust.

Dear Mother, since your Son refuses you nothing, ask of His Sacred Heart to mercifully grant what we ask, through the merits of His sacred passion, along with those of your sufferings at the foot of the cross. Remind Him that you are our sweetness, our life and our hope, and our prayers will be heard.
Amen
