Jesus cadit. | Jesus falls. |
Stabat Mater dolorosa | The grieving Mother stood |
Juxta crucem lacrymosa, | weeping beside the Cross |
Dum pendebat Filius | where her Son was hanging |
Ah! Mine outraged Jesus, by the merits of the weakness Thou didst suffer in going to Calvary, give me strength sufficient to conquer all human respect, and all wicked passions, which have led me to despise Thy friendship. I love Thee, Jesus, my love, above all things; I repent with my whole heart of having offended Thee. Never permit me to separate myself from Thee again. Grant that I may love Thee always, and then do with me what Thou wilt.
Our Father...
Hail Mary...
Glory be...
Hail Mary...
Glory be...
