I repeat to your Eminence what I said the other time to our Holy Father Pius VII, of holy and ever glorious memory, when I submitted these Rules: that if he had cancelled them from the first word to the last I would have been most happy, since I longed then and even now, to be not only subject in everything, but not even to move a step if it is not conformed to the will or pleasure of the Supreme Vicar of Jesus Christ.
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.
