The St. Jude Rosary
PRAYER TO THE MOTHER OF SORROWS
O Mother Mary, your life was filled with the most wonderful joy and the deepest sorrow. Your joy was the result of God’s love in choosing you to be the Mother of our Saviour. Your sorrow was caused by our sins which led to the crucifixion of Christ on the Cross.
Help us to think about the passion and death of Jesus. Never allow us to grow so accustomed to the crucifix that we fail to remember the terrible pains that your Son suffered on our behalf.
Prompt us and families to improve ourselves by striving after virtue and avoiding sin. Then some day we will share with you and your family the eternal joy of heaven. Amen.
V. Our Lady of Sorrows
