Our Lady of Sorrows, may we have as much fortitude in our sufferings besides Christ, as you did beside the Cross.

"Hail, Mary, the second chance of fallen humanity, for because of you the Savior could be given to us. When the Archangel Gabriel was sent by God to seek your answer, had you refused to serve, as did our common mother, Eve, how many more centuries would we have awaited the Promised One, so desired?"
