O
NOVENA TO THE QUEEN OF MARTYRS
MOST holy and
afflicted Virgin, Queen of Martyrs! Thou who didst stand motionless at
the foot of the Cross, beneath thy dying Son, through the sword of
sorrow which pierced thee then, through the unceasing suffering of thy
life of sorrow, and the bliss which now amply repays thee for thy past
trials and afflictions, look down with a mother's tenderness and pity
on one who kneels before thee, who venerates thy sacred Dolors, and
places his request, with filial confidence, in the Sanctuary of thy
Sorrowful and Immaculate Heart. Present, I beseech thee, to Jesus
Christ, in union with the infinite merits of His Passion and Death, thy
sufferings at the foot of the Cross; and through the efficacy of both,
obtain the grant of my petition. Amen.
Sorrowful
and Immaculate Heart of Mary, pray for us who have recourse
to thee. Amen.
