Chaplet of Our Lady's Tears 
 This Chaplet is prayed on the Rosary beads.
  
 Begin as follows:
  
 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 of the Chaplet, say 3 times the following:
  
 V. "O Jesus, look upon the tears of her who loved You most on earth," 
 R. "And loves You most ardently in Heaven."
  
 Say the following prayer at the end of the Chaplet:
  
 "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 favours we ask, 
 the crown of everlasting life."
  
 Amen.
