Make an offering.
Place this suffering in Mary’s hands.
Name what is already here. Unite it to the sacrifice of Jesus, and ask Our Lady to present it for the conversion of sinners and the needs of the Church.
Ask for patience with St. AlphonsusAh my most sweet Lady, you who were innocent suffered with such patience, and shall I, who deserve Hell, refuse to suffer? My Mother, this grace I ask of you today: not indeed to be delivered from crosses, but to bear them with patience. For the love of Jesus I beg you to obtain me this grace from God without fail; from you I hope for it.
