Prayer for September
Sorrowful and Immaculate Heart of Mary, dwelling pure and holy, cover my soul with your maternal protection so that being ever so faithful to the voice of Jesus, it responds to HIs love and obeys His Divine Will. I wish, O, my Mother, to keep unceasingly before me your co-redemption in order to live intimately with your Heart that is totally united to the Heart of your Divine Son. Fasten me to this Heart by your own virtue and Sorrows. Protect me always. Amen
September is the month of Our Lady of Sorrows
Our Lady of Mercy and St. Joseph pray for us.
