Mother Mary, 

I have been here with you in your Seven Sorrows, and in great gratitude I offer you my life in a total consecration and with great reparations of my sins. I am soulfully sorry for ever having offended you and our Lord Jesus Christ. Please set me on a path and direction to always do God’s will and remember the depth of your Seven Sorrows. Please allow me to open my heart and truly listen and not to ever consider hardening my heart. If you call upon me today, do not allow me to harden my heart. “I am eager to see what fruit this lectio might produce in me.” With the company of St. Benedict please allow me to hear in my heart Your Voice. Twice you have called me by name. Please, let me hear a third. One day perhaps, as in the hospital, you shall accompany me in prayer and in conversation. Thank you, Mother Mary. Amen.
