Lord Jesus,
we gather in spirit at the foot of the Cross
with your Mother and the disciple whom you loved.
We ask your pardon for our sins,
which are the cause of your death.
We thank you for remembering us
in that hour of salvation
and for giving us Mary as our Mother.
Holy Virgin,
take us under your protection
and open us to the action of
the Holy Spirit.
Saint John,
obtain for us the grace of taking Mary
into our lives as you did,
and of assisting her in her mission.
May the Father and the Son
and the Holy Spirit
be glorified in all places
through the Immaculate Virgin Mary.
Amen.
