Pray Three Hail Mary’s for her sorrowful tears.

Ora pro nobis, Most Sorrowful Virgin!
That we may be made worthy of the promises of Christ.

Lord Jesus, we implore now both for the present and for the hours of our death, the intercession of the Most Blessed Virgin Mary, Thy Mother and ours, whose holy soul was pierced at the time of Your Passion by a sword of greatest grief. Grand us this favor, O Savior of the world, Who livest and reignest with The Father and The Holy Ghost, One God forever and ever. Amen.
