Stabat Mater

The sorrowful mother was standing,
weeping by the Cross,
while her Son was hanging there.

Through her groaning, mourning,
and sorrowing soul,
the sword has passed.

O how sad and afflicted
was that blessed one,
mother of the only-begotten!

Who grieved and mourned, and trembled,
the loving mother, when she saw
the torments of her glorious Son.

Who is the man who would not weep
if he saw the mother of Christ
in such distress?

Who would not be sorrowful
to see the gentle mother
grieving with her Son?

She saw Jesus in torments
for the sins of His race,
and subjected to whips.

She saw her sweet Son
desolate in dying,
until He gave up His spirit.

Come, Mother, fount of love,
so that I may feel the power of
your sorrow, make me lament with you.

Make my heart kindle
in the love of Christ my God,
that I may please Him.

Holy Mother, may you do this:
fix the wounds of the Crucified
firmly in my heart.

Divide with me the punishments
of your wounded Son
who yet desired to suffer with me.

Make me truly weep with you,
to suffer with the Crucified,
as long as I shall live.

To stand by the Cross with you,
to be your companion freely,
in your weeping, this I desire.

Noble Virgin of virgins,
may you not now be harsh to me,
make me sorrow with you.

Cause me to endure the death of Christ,
make me a companion of His
suffering and to contemplate
His wounds.

Cause me to be wounded with His wounds,
to be overwhelmed by the Cross
for love of your Son.

Inflamed and kindled by you,
O Virgin, may I be defended
on the Day of Judgment.

Cause me to be protected by the Cross,
to be guarded by the death of
Christ, to be comforted by grace.

When the body shall die,
grant that to my soul is given
the glory of Paradise.

Amen.
