_____Amen.

In honor of the Most Holy Heart of Mary.

I believe in God the Father Almighty,
Creator of Heaven and earth,
and in Jesus Christ, His only Son, our Lord
Who was conceived by the Holy Spirit,
born of the Virgin Mary,
suffered under Pontius Pilate,
was crucified, died, and was buried.
He descended into Hell; the third day He
arose again from the dead; He ascended into
Heaven and is seated at the right hand of God
the Father Almighty, from thence He shall come
to judge the living and the dead. I believe in the Holy Spirit,
the Holy Catholic Church, the Communion of Saints,
the forgiveness of sins, the resurrection of the body,
and life everlasting. Amen.

Hail, holy Queen, Mother of mercy; hail our life, our sweetness and our hope.
To thee do we cry, poor banished children of Eve. To thee do we send up our sighs,
mourning and weeping in this valley of tears. Turn then, most gracious Advocate,
thine eyes of mercy toward us. And after this our exile show unto us the blessed fruit
of thy womb, Jesus. O clement, O loving, O sweet Virgin Mary. Pray for us,
O holy Mother of God, that we may be made worthy of the promises of Christ.

(Hail Mary… Three Times)

Hail Mary, full of grace, the Lord is with thee.
Blessed art thou among women, and blessed is
the fruit of thy womb, Jesus.

Holy Mary, Mother of God, pray for us sinners,
now, and at the hour of our death. Amen.

[joymercy]

O most holy mother, Queen of sorrows, who followed your beloved Son through all the way of the cross and whose heart was pierced with a fresh sword of grief, at all the stations of that most sorrowful journey;

Obtain for us, we beseech you, O most loving Mother, a perpetual remembrances of our blessed Saviors’ cross and death, and a true and tender devotion to all the mysteries of His most Holy Passion;

Obtain for us the grace to hate sin, even as He hated in the agony in the garden;

to endure wrong and insults with all patience as He endured them in the judgment hall;

to be meek and humble in all our trails as He was before his judges;

to love our enemies even as he loved His murderers and prayed for them upon the cross and to glorify God and to do good to our neighbor, even as He did in every mystery of His suffering;

O Queen of martyrs, who by the dolours of your immaculate heart on Calvary, merited to share the passion of our most holy redeemer, obtain for us some portion of your compassion that for the love of Jesus crucified, we may be crucified to the world in this life and in the life to come, may by His infinite merits and your powerful intercession reign with Him in glory, everlasting.

Amen

O my God, I am heartily sorry for having offended Thee and I detest all my sins because of Thy just punishments, but most of all because they offend Thee, my God, who art all good and deserving of all my love.
