Pray to the Sorrowful and Immaculate Heart of Mary, Our Queen

At the Holy Hour on the Feast of the Annunciation, March 25, 1912, the Most Blessed Virgin spoke thus to Berthe Petit, a humble Franciscan Tertiary from Belgium, saying,

I have called myself the Immaculate Conception. To you I call myself Mother of the Sorrowful Heart. This title willed by my Son is dear to me above all others. According as it is spread everywhere, there will be granted graces of mercy, spiritual renewal and salvation.

Prayer of Berthe Petit

Sorrowful and Immaculate Heart of Mary, dwelling pure and holy, cover my soul with your maternal protection so that being ever faithful to the voice of Jesus, it responds to His love and obeys His Divine Will.

I wish, O, my Mother, to keep unceasingly before me your co-redemption in order to live intimately with your Heart that is totally united to the Heart of Your Divine Son.

Fasten me to this Heart by your own virtues and sorrows. Protect me always.

Amen.
