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. |
My Jesus, it is not the weight of the cross, but of my sins, which has made Thee suffer so much pain. Ah! by the merits of this first fall, deliver me from the misfortune of falling into mortal sin. I love Thee, O my Jesus; 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...
