September is the month of Our Lady's Seven Sorrows
I beseech you, O Lord Jesus Christ, that the Blessed Virgin Mary, whose most holy soul was pierced in the hour of your Passion by the sword of sorrow, may intercede for us with Your mercy now and at the hour of our death.
Amen.
Our Lady of Mercy and St. Joseph pray for us.
