"Behold this child is set for the fall, and for the resurrection of many in Israel, and for a sign which shall be contradicted; and thy own soul a sword shall pierce, that, out of many hearts, thoughts may be revealed." - (Lk.2:34-35) + THE SORROWFUL MOTHER STOOD Stabat Mater (13c) sequence attributed to Innocent III[1] and Jacopone da Todi.[2] Its title is an abbreviation of the first line, Stabat mater dolorosa ("The sorrowful mother stood"). The hymn, one of the most powerful and immediate of extant medieval poems, meditates on the suffering of Mary, Jesus Christ's mother, during his crucifixion. It is sung at the liturgy on the memorial of Our Lady of Sorrows and during the Stations of the Cross. + V. We adore Thee, O Christ, and we praise Thee, R. Because by Thy Holy Cross Thou hast redeemed the world. STABAT MATER - 7 SORROWS ROSARY STATIONS OF THE CROSS |

At the Cross her station keeping, stood the mournful Mother weeping, close to Jesus to the last. + Through her heart, His sorrow sharing, all His bitter anguish bearing, now at length the sword has passed. + O how sad and sore distressed was that Mother, highly blest, of the sole-begotten One. + Christ above in torment hangs, she beneath beholds the pangs of her dying glorious Son. + Is there one who would not weep, whelmed in miseries so deep, Christ's dear Mother to behold? + Can the human heart refrain from partaking in her pain, in that Mother's pain untold? + For the sins of His own nation, She saw Jesus wracked with torment, All with scourges rent: + She beheld her tender Child, Saw Him hang in desolation, Till His spirit forth He sent. + O thou Mother! fount of love! Touch my spirit from above, make my heart with thine accord: + Make me feel as thou hast felt; make my soul to glow and melt with the love of Christ my Lord. + Holy Mother! pierce me through, in my heart each wound renew of my Savior crucified: + Let me share with thee His pain, who for all my sins was slain, who for me in torments died. + Let me mingle tears with thee, mourning Him who mourned for me, all the days that I may live: + By the Cross with thee to stay, there with thee to weep and pray, is all I ask of thee to give. + Virgin of all virgins blest!, Listen to my fond request: let me share thy grief divine; + Let me, to my latest breath, in my body bear the death of that dying Son of thine. + Wounded with His every wound, steep my soul till it hath swooned, in His very Blood away; + Be to me, O Virgin, nigh, lest in flames I burn and die, in His awful Judgment Day. + Christ, when Thou shalt call me hence, by Thy Mother my defense, by Thy Cross my victory; + When my body dies, let my soul be granted the glory of Paradise. Amen. + |
Stabat mater dolorosa juxta Crucem lacrimosa, dum pendebat Filius. + Cuius animam gementem, contristatam et dolentem pertransivit gladius. + O quam tristis et afflicta fuit illa benedicta, mater Unigeniti! + Quae moerebat et dolebat, pia Mater, dum videbat nati poenas inclyti. + Quis est homo qui non fleret, matrem Christi si videret in tanto supplicio? + Quis non posset contristari Christi Matrem contemplari dolentem cum Filio? + Pro peccatis suae gentis vidit Iesum in tormentis, et flagellis subditum. + Vidit suum dulcem Natum moriendo desolatum, dum emisit spiritum. + Eia, Mater, fons amoris me sentire vim doloris fac, ut tecum lugeam. + Fac, ut ardeat cor meum in amando Christum Deum ut sibi complaceam. + Sancta Mater, istud agas, crucifixi fige plagas cordi meo valide. + Tui Nati vulnerati, tam dignati pro me pati, poenas mecum divide. + Fac me tecum pie flere, crucifixo condolere, donec ego vixero. + Juxta Crucem tecum stare, et me tibi sociare in planctu desidero. + Virgo virginum praeclara, mihi iam non sis amara, fac me tecum plangere. + Fac, ut portem Christi mortem, passionis fac consortem, et plagas recolere. + Fac me plagis vulnerari, fac me Cruce inebriari, et cruore Filii. + Flammis ne urar succensus, per te, Virgo, sim defensus in die iudicii. + Christe, cum sit hinc exire, da per Matrem me venire ad palmam victoriae. + Quando corpus morietur, fac, ut animae donetur paradisi gloria. Amen. + |
