Praise be to Mary

Praise be to Mary

Let us unite ourselves with the great Saint Augustine in his song of praise and love addressed to his Mother and Queen.
O Most Blessed Mary! Who will be able to give You back the acknowledgments and thanks that are due to You, for the help that You have given by Your consent to everyone who was lost? What praise may be presented to You by the weakness of our nature, which being lost has found through You the beginning of its deliverance. Receive, therefore, please, these very humble thanksgiving, though frail and unworthy of Your merits, and, accepting our vows, excuse our sins by Your prayers. Receive what we offer You, give what we ask You, forgive what we fear, especially since You are the only Hope of sinners; through You, we hope for forgiveness of our faults, and in You is the expectation of all our happiness. Holy Mary, help the wretched, help the fainthearted, strengthen the weak, pray for the people, intervene for the clergy; may all those who celebrate Your memory feel the effects of Your assistance; be favourable to the wishes of those who have recourse to Your clemency and grant them the fulfilment of their desires; may it please You to pray unceasingly for the faithful people, You, O Most Blessed Virgin! Who have deserved to bear the Redeemer of the world, who lives and reigns for ever and ever.

Sign of the Cross

In the name of the Father, and of the Son, and of the Holy Ghost, and of the Mother of God. Amen.

Preparatory Prayer

O Jesus! We are going to walk with You on the road to Calvary which was so painful for You. Make us understand the greatness of Your sufferings, touch our hearts with tender compassion at the sight of Your torments, in order to increase in us the regret of our faults and the love we wish to have for You.
Deign to apply to all of us the infinite merits of Your Passion, and in memory of Your sorrows, show mercy to the souls in Purgatory, especially to those who are most abandoned.
O Divine Mary, who first taught us to make the Way of the Cross, obtain for us the grace to follow Jesus with the sentiments Your Heart was filled with as You accompanied Him on the road to Calvary. Grant that we may weep with You, and that we may love Your divine Son as You do. We ask this in the name of His adorable Heart. Amen.
