Say This Prayer To The Blessed Virgin For a Sick One

REMEMBER, O most gracious Virgin Mary, that never was

 it known that anyone who fled to thy protection, implored

thy help, or sought thy intercession was left unaided. Inspired

 with this confidence, I fly to thee, O Virgin of virgins, my Mother;

to thee do I come; before thee I stand, sinful and sorrowful.

 O Mother of the Word Incarnate, despise not my petitions,

 but in thy mercy hear and answer me. Amen.

O kind and good Mother,

whose own soul was pierced by the sword of sorrow,

look upon us while,

in our sickness,

we arraign ourselves beside you

on the Calvary where your Jesus hangs.

Dowered with the high grace of suffering,

and hopeful of fulfilling in our own flesh

what is wanting in our sharing of Christ’s passion,

on behalf of his Mystical Body, the Church,

we consecrate to you ourselves and our pain.

We pray that you will place them

on that Altar of the Cross to which Jesus is affixed.

May they be little victims of propitiation for our salvation,

for the salvation of all peoples.

O Mother of Sorrows,

accept this consecration.

Strengthen our hopeful hearts,

that as partakers of Christ’s sufferings

we may also share in his comfort now and for evermore.

Amen.

Glory be, to the Father, to the Son, and to the Holy Spirit.

As it was in the beginning, is now, and ever shall be,

a world without end. AMEN
