The Chaplet of Our Lady's Tears
The Chaplet of Our Lady of Tears is seven
groups of seven, the same form used for the Rosary of Our Lady of Sorrows.
Each group of seven
represents one of the Sorrows of Mary.
Replace the Creed with:
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 Heaven for all eternity.
Replace the Our Father's with:
V. O Jesus, look upon the tears of her who loved You most on earth,
R. And loves You most ardently in Heaven.
Replace the Hail Mary's with:
V. O Jesus, hear our prayers,
R. For the sake of Your most holy Mother's tears.
At the end, repeat 3 times on the ending beads:
V. O Jesus, look upon the tears of her who loved You most on earth,
R. And loves You most ardently in Heaven.
Closing prayer:
O Mary, Mother of love, sorrow and mercy, we beg you to unite your
prayers with our 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.
