Litany of Our Lady of Seven Sorrows
Holy Mary,
Pray for us. [This response continues for each line below.]
Holy Mother of God,
Holy Virgin of virgins,
Mother crucified,
Mother sorrowful,
Mother tearful,
Mother afflicted,
Mother forsaken,
Mother desolate,
Mother bereft of thy Child,
Mother transfixed with the sword,
Mother consumed with grief,
Mother filled with anguish,
Mother crucified in heart,
Mother most sad,
Fountain of tears,
Accumulation of suffering,
Mirror of patience,
Rock of consistency,
Anchor of confidence,
Refuge of the forsaken,
Shield of the oppressed,
Subduer of the unbelieving,
Comfort of the wretched,
Medicine of the sick,
Strength of the weak,
Harbor of the wrecked,
Allayer of tempests,
Resource of mourners,
Terror of the treacherous,
Treasure of the faithful,
Eye of Prophets,
Staff of Apostles,
Crown of Martyrs,
Light of Confessors,
Pearl of Virgins,
Consolation of Widows,
Joy of all Saints,
Pray for us.
Lamb of God, who takest away the sins of the world :
Spare us, O Jesus.
Lamb of God, who takest away the sins of the world :
Graciously hear us, O Jesus.
Lamb of God, who takest away the sins of the world :
Have mercy on us, O Jesus.
Look down upon us, deliver us from all trouble in the power of Jesus Christ. Amen.
Imprint, O Lady, thy wound upon my heart, that I may read therein sorrow and love : sorrow, to endure every sorrow for thee; love, to despise every love for thee.
(Conclude with a Credo, Salve Regina and three Aves in honor of the Most Holy Heart of Mary.)
~ Benjamin Francis Musser O.F.M., Kyrie Eleison - Two Hundred Litanies (1944)
