September is devoted to Our Lady of Sorrows
Commemorated on September 15, reflecting Mary’s suffering at the foot of the Cross. Many pray for guidance, protection, and spiritual growth throughout this month.
Oh most holy and afflicted Virgin, Queen of Martyrs, you stood beneath the cross, witnessing the agony of your dying Son. Look with a mother’s tenderness and pity on me, who kneel before you. I venerate your sorrows and place my requests with filial confidence in the sanctuary of your wounded heart. Present them, I beseech you, on my behalf to Jesus Christ, through the merits of his most sacred Passion and Death, together with your sufferings at the foot of the cross; and through the united efficacy of both, obtain the grant of my present petition. To whom shall I resort in my wants and miseries if not to you, O Mother of Mercy, who, having so deeply drunk of the chalice of your Son, can compassionate the sorrows of those who still sigh in the land of exile?
