Method:
On the medal:
Incline unto my aid, O God.  O Lord, make haste to help me.
Glory Be
1st set:
Immaculate Virgin, who, conceived without sin, didst direct every movement of thy most pure heart to that God Who was ever the object of thy love, and who was ever most submissive to His will, obtain for me the grace to hate sin with my whole heart, and to learn of thee to live in perfect resignation to the will of God.
Our Father
Hail Mary (7x)
Heart transpierced with pain and woe, set my heart with love aglow.
2nd set:
I marvel, Mary at thy deep humility, through which thy blessed heart was troubled at the gracious message brought thee by Gabriel, the archangel, that thou wast chosen Mother of the Son of the Most High, and through which thou didst proclaim thyself His humble handmaid.  Wherefore, in great confusion at the sight of my pride, I ask thee for the grace of a contrite and humble heart, that, knowing my own misery, I may obtain that crown of glory promised to the truly humble of heart.
Our Father
Hail Mary (7x)
Heart transpierced with pain and woe, set my heart with love aglow.
3rd set:
Blessed Virgin, who, in thy sweetest heart, didst keep as a precious treasure the words of Jesus thy Son, and pondering on the lofty mysteries they contained, didst learn to live for God alone, how doth my cold heart confound me.  O dearest Mother.  Get me grace so to meditate within my heart upon God's holy law that I may strive to follow thee in the fervent practice of every Christian virtue.
Our Father
Hail Mary (7x)
Heart transpierced with pain and woe, set my heart with love aglow.
4th set:
Glorious Queen of martyrs, whose sacred heart was pierced in thy Son's bitter Passion by the sword, whereof the holy man Simeon had prophesied, gain for my heart true courage and a holy patience to bear the troubles and misfortunes of this miserable life, that so by crucifying my flesh with its desires while following the mortification of the cross, I may indeed show myself to be a true son of thine.
Our Father
Hail Mary (7x)
Heart transpierced with pain and woe, set my heart with love aglow.
5th set:
O Mary, mystical rose, whose loving heart, burning with the living fire of charity, did accept us for thy sons at the foot of the Cross, becoming thus our tender Mother, make me feel the sweetness of thy maternal heart and thy power with Jesus, that when menaced by the perils of this mortal life, and most of all in the dread hour of death, my heart united with thine may love my Jesus then and through all ages.  Amen.
Our Father
Hail Mary (7x)
Heart transpierced with pain and woe, set my heart with love aglow.
Conclude with:
Let us now turn to the Most Sacred Heart of Jesus, that He may inflame us with His holy love. 
O Divine Heart of Jesus.  To Thee I consecrate myself, full of deep gratitude for the many blessings I have received and daily do receive from Thy boundless charity.  With my whole heart I thank thee for having, in addition to them all, vouchsafed to give me Thy own most holy Mother, giving me to her as a son, in the person of the beloved disciple.  Let my heart ever burn with love for Thee, finding in Thy sweetest Heart its peace, its refuge, and its happiness.
