Liam Ronan My cure for dryness /it happens to everyone/ is a way of saying Rosary and asking for virtues. From little book dated 1926 "Rosary Novenas to our Lady" I borrowed with some changes a certain way of saying the Rosary. I'll give you a couple of examples:

Visitation, at the end I say "I bind these snow-white roses with a petition for the virtue of Charity and humbly lay this bouquet at Thy /Mary's/ feet."

Agony in the grotto of the Garden of Gethsemane, after 'our Father and Hail Marys' I say: I bind these blood-red roses with a petition for the virtue of Resignation to the Will of God, and humbly lay this bouquet at Thy feet."

One more example - Coronation of our Blessed Mother in Heaven as Its Queen, I say after the prayers "I bind these yellow roses with a petition for the virtue of Union with Thee, and humbly lay this bouquet at Thy feet."

I also ask to bind these roses with my children /and others/ for their health and salvation.

That way, even if I don't put too much feeling into the Rosary, at least I ask for something important - virtues. Of course, I add some other petitions as well, it's not written in stone.

Rogier van der Weyden - Descent from the Cross - Detail women (left, tears):

Novena - Oremus It is a post from an SSPX Catholic. Sorry, it looks after the search that this is an old one - 6 April 2020 /covid/. Here is a Google Translate from an Italian news, 'Diventa Reporter' - "On April 6, the sword of Saint Michael the Archangel was carried in procession in Monte Sant'Angelo. An important event, since the sword only leaves the Basilica on St. Michael's Day, September 29th, during the procession in honor of the Saint. The sword came out of the Basilica of San Michele, for an intercession procession, even as far back as 1656 on the occasion of the plague.
Following that procession, the plague epidemic ceased and a monument to San Michele was erected as a sign of gratitude. The column with the statue of San Michele Arcangelo was commissioned by Archbishop Alfonso Puccinelli." Once again, sorry. Where? - "The Sanctuary of Saint Michael the Archangel (Italian: Santuario di San Michele Arcangelo) is a Roman Catholic shrine on Mount Gargano, Italy, part of the commune of Monte Sant'Angelo, in the province of Foggia, northern Apulia. It has the dignity of a minor basilica."

Fernandez and Co. thinks our dignity is infinite. Liar! If it were so there wouldn't be need for God to visit the shadows of the Earth and make satisfaction for our first failure. God the Father to St. Catherine: "That sin /original sin/ demanded infinite satisfaction. In order to make satisfaction to Me (because I am infinite), and for past, present, and future humanity, human nature, which had sinned and was finite had to be united with something infinite."

Ave Crux Great! Humility is the soil in which the tree of love grows. God the Father to St. Catherine of Siena:
'Wherefore I reply that this is the way, if you will arrive at a perfect knowledge and enjoyment of Me, the Eternal Truth, that you should never go outside the knowledge of yourself, and, by humbling yourself in the valley of humility, you will know Me and yourself, from which knowledge you will draw all that is necessary.'
'After the soul has come to know herself she finds humility and hatred for her selfish sensual passion, recognizing the perverse law that is bound up in her members and is always fighting against the spirit.'
And one more from the Source of Life:
'Charity, it is true, has many offshoots, like a tree with many branches. But what gives life to both the tree and its branches is its root, so long as that root is planted in the soil of humility. For humility is the governess and wet nurse of the charity into which this branch of discernment is engrafted.'

God the Father ~ Artus Quellinus II, 1682, Sint-Salvatorkathedraal, Bruges:

Liam Ronan I know about only one saint who says that it's possible to be saved without Holy Queen of Heaven ~ St. Alphonsus de Liguori: "The intercession of Mary is necessary for our salvation. Not absolutely necessary but morely necessary." I assume that St. Alphonsus meant Catholics, not Protestants.
Other saints, such as St. Louis Marie de Montfort would say that Mary's intervention is necessary to receive graces as you can hear in this video by Arcadia Film:
