sorrowful virgin is found the synthesis of all the episodes that we just meditated upon what mystical graces were conceded to thee in the midst of those anguishes graces of participating in the same sufferings as those of the redeemer it was not without reason that in a certain sense the what called the coredemetrics it is to thee that i have recourse when i am moaning under the weight of my sins with an unshakable conviction that never was it known that anyone who fled to thy protection and implode thy help was left unaided grant o mary that having meditated on these steps of the passion of christ i may learn from thee to love christ as thou dost love him and to surrender myself entirely to christ as thou has done i ask the most holy virgin for all the graces for my sanctification and for the church to arrive at the plenitude of its splendor and grace amen
