Prayer to Saint Maria Francesca of the five wounds to be recited today

Saint Maria Francesca, who by enduring humiliations and sufferings you shared the pain and anguish felt by Jesus in his Passion, help us to understand that pain, to look at Jesus crucified with the tenderness of a mother who would like to replace him in order not to make him suffer more.

Saint Maria Francesca, who made the Eucharist the only great desire of life, help us to welcome the consecrated Host into us with faith and awareness.
Saint Maria Francesca, who you recommended to have faith in God and in the virgin Mary, help us to pray to them with confidence and the ardor with which you prayed.
Saint Maria Francesca, be our guide, teach us to listen to Jesus
and to follow him on the road he has prepared for each of us.
Amen
