O Lord Jesus Christ, Who, to honour the memory of the sorrows of Thy most holy Mother, did through seven blessed Fathers enrich Thy Church with a new family of her Servants: mercifully grant that we may be so linked in fellowship to them in their sorrows, as to share also in their joys: Who lives and reigns. Amen.
