Day 1
Pray
Traditional prayer
Beloved disciple and true lover of Jesus Christ, St Mary Salome; I thy humble client thank the Blessed Trinity for the glory bestowed on thee, making thy family truly a family of saints. By thy generosity in devoting to the apostolate thy sons and thyself, obtain for me that throughout my whole life, whatever be the cost, I may labour efficaciously in promoting the glory of God and the salvation of souls. And when my end shall come, O my dear protectress, assist me with that loving pity with which thou didst assist our dying Lord on Calvary; and grant that in that terrible hour He may address to me also those consoling words which He spoke on the Cross to the penitent thief: “This day thou shalt be with Me in Paradise.”
