(Opening prayer)
Special prayer for this day
Look upon the Medal thou hast given me, O Lady Immaculate and my Queen. Thou hast stamped thereon the cross of Christ, thy Son. Though marked with the stars of glory, thy holy emblem bears as well the cross of agony and death. It is as much as if thou didst tell me that I cannot come to God unless I prove my valor in the fight. By that sacred wood, bedewed with the blood of Jesus, turn thy ear to my cry. By the terrible torture thou didst endure on Calvary’s top, help me in my hour of need. By the agony and shame of the first Good Friday, hear me. O Mary, conceived without sin, pray for us who have recourse to thee.
