Prayers

In the name of The Father, and The Son, and The Holy Spirit. Amen.

Opening Prayer:
My God, I offer You this Rosary for Your glory, so I can honor your Holy Mother, the Blessed Virgin, so I can share and meditate upon her suffering. I humbly beg you to give me true repentance for all my sins. Give me wisdom and humility, so that I may receive all the indulgences contained in this prayer.

Act of Contrition:
O my God, I am heartily sorry for having offended You, and I detest all my sins because I dread the loss of Heaven and the pains of hell; but most of all because they offend You, my God, You Who are all good and deserving of all my love. I firmly resolve, with the help of Your grace, to confess my sins, to do penance, and to amend my life. Amen.

(The Rosary of Mary’s Immaculate Heart is recited with an ordinary rosary.)

Make the Sign of the Cross 5 times in veneration of the Savior’s 5 Holy Wounds.

On the large beads: Sorrowful and Immaculate Heart of Mary, pray for those who seek refuge in you.

On the small beads: Holy Mother, save us through your Immaculate Heart’s flame of love.

Conclude the chaplet by praying 3 Glory be.

(The Chaplet of Tears taught to sister Amalia by the Blessed Mother consists of 49 beads that is divided into seven parts (7 beads each) and separated by larger beads – similar to the Rosary of the Seven Sorrows of Mary.)

Start with the Sign of the Cross, Our Father and Hail Mary, then continue:

Beginning Prayer:
Crucified Jesus, prostrate at Your feet, we offer You the tears of the Mother who, with love full of devotion and sympathy, accompanied You on Your painful way to Calvary. Grant, O Good Master, that we take to heart the lessons that the tears of Your Most Holy Mother have taught us, so that we may fulfill Your Holy Will on earth and become worthy to praise and bless You in heaven for all eternity. Amen.

On Large Beads (instead of the “Our Father” say):
V. O Jesus, look upon the tears of the Mother who loved You most while on earth,
R. And who loves You so ardently in heaven.

On Seven Small Beads (instead of the “Hail Mary” say):
V. O Jesus hear our petitions,
R. For the sake of the tears shed by Your dearest Mother.

Upon completing the seven sets: (repeat 3 times)
O Jesus, look upon the tears of the Mother who loved You most while on earth, and who loves You so ardently in heaven.

Concluding Prayer:
O Mary, Mother of Love, of Sorrows and of Mercy, we beg You, join Your prayers with ours so that Jesus, Your Divine Son to whom we turn, will graciously hear our petitions for the sake of Your maternal tears, and, together with the graces we implore, grant us finally the reward of eternal life. Amen.

With Your tears, O sorrowful Mother, destroy the dominion of Satan. Through Your divine tenderness, O bound and fettered Jesus, defend the world from the errors that threaten it. Amen.
