Your maternal tears give me hope that you will listen to me kindly.

Oh! Heart of Mary, obtain for me from Jesus that strength with which you bore the great pains of your life so that I may always fulfill, with Christian resignation and even in the midst of pain, the divine will.

Obtain me, Oh! Sweet Mother, may my hope grow, and if it is in accordance with the divine will, obtain for me also, through your immaculate tears, the grace that with so much faith and living hope I ask of you now….

Oh! Virgin of Tears, life, sweetness and hope of mine, in you I place all my trust today and forever.
