Be courageous as you walk in the ways of the Lord. Remember that the Daughters of Charity must have a heart ready to love much. If you desire that He gives you this treasure, then you must resolve to please Him in everything and be His faithful spouses in suffering as well as in joy.
I
Father, who willed that Mary be at the foot of the cross,
sharing in the sacrifice of your Son;
Grant us, through Her intercession, to bear within ourselves the image of Christ Crucified and Risen
and to spend ourselves, with untiring charity, for the good of our brothers and sisters.
Through Christ our Lord. Amen.
Mary, Mother of Love at the foot of cross – pray for us
II
Virgin most sorrowful,
Mother of Love at the foot of the cross,
You received the most amiable, the most generous and th most patient Spirit of Jesus.
Since the beginning, by saying Yes to the Father’s design,
You have been Servant, beside the Servant, that is, Jesus.
Let the spirit of your Crucified Son be born in us so that every action of ours may be prompted by his very Love,
And we may reveal the Father’s care and love every time we meet our brothers and sisters. Amen.
