Consolation of widows,
Joy of all Saints,

Lamb of God, Who take away the sins of the world,
R/ Spare us, O Lord.

Look down upon us, deliver us, and save us from all trouble,
in the power of Jesus Christ. Amen.

Let Us Pray.
Imprint, O Lady, your wounds upon my heart, that I may read therein sorrow and love
------ sorrow to endure every sorrow for you, love to despise every love for you. Amen.
