Nothing is more evident and unchangeable than that great obstacles should arise when the works of God are in question; in fact I believe that if obstacles do not exist, there would be reason to fear since it seems that the devil is indifferent and has no fear.
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.
