Sixth Prayer

Our Father -- Hail Mary

   O Jesus!  King most loving and most desirable, remember the grief which Thou didst suffer when, naked and like a common criminal, Thou wast raised and fastened to the cross; when all Thy relatives and friends abandoned Thee, except Thy beloved Mother, who remained close to Thee during Thy agony, and whom Thou didst entrust to Thy faithful disciple when Thou saidst to Mary, "Woman, behold thy son," and to St. John, "Behold thy Mother."

   I beg of Thee, O my Savior, by the sword of sorrow which pierced the soul of Thy holy Mother, to have compassion on me in all my afflictions and tribulations, both corporal and spiritual, and to assist me in all my trials, and especially at the hour of my death.  Amen.
