Three O'Clock Prayer

Lord Jesus,
We gather in spirit at the foot of the cross
With your Mother and the disciple who you loved.
We ask your pardon for our sins
Which are the cause of your death.
We thank you for remembering us
In that hour of salvation.
And for giving us Mary as our Mother.
Holy Virgin, take us under your protection
And open us the the action of the Holy Spirit.

Saint John, obtain for us the grace of taking
Mary into our lives as you did,
And of assisting her in her mission.

May the Father and the Son and the Holy Spirit be
Glorified in all places through the
Immaculate Virgin Mary. Amen.

Marianist Doxology

May the Father and the Son and the Holy Spirit be
