Our Lady of Tears Title

This chaplet is said on ordinary rosary beads.

Instead of the Creed say:

'Crucified Jesus! We fall at your feet
and offer you the tears of Her who
with deep compassionate love
accompanied You on Your sorrowful
way of the Cross. Grant, O good Master,
that we take to heart the lessons
which the tears of Your most holy Mother
teach us, so that we may fulfill
Your holy will on earth, that we may be
worthy to praise and exalt You in
Haven for all eternity'.

Instead of the Our Father say:

V. 'O Jesus, look upon the tears of Her who loved You most on earth
R. And loves You most ardently in Heaven'.

Instead of the Hail Mary say:

V. 'O Jesus, hear our prayers
R. For the sake of Your most holy Mother's tears'.

At the end repeat three times on the small beads:

V. 'O Jesus, look upon the tears of Her who loved You most on earth
R. And loves You most ardently in Heaven'.

After the last three invocations say the closing prayer:

'O Mary, Mother of Love, sorrow and mercy
we beg you to unite your prayers
with ours so that Jesus, Your Divine Son,
to whom we turn, may hear our petitions
in the name of your maternal tears
and may give us in addition to the favors
we ask, the crown of everlasting life. Amen'.
