proceeds to the shrine or the image of the Sorrowful Mother, during which time the Stabat Mater is sung. Hymn At the cross her station keeping, Stood the mournful Mother weeping, Close to Jesus to the last. Through her heart, His sorrows sharing, All His bitter anguish bearing, Now at length the sword had passed. Oh, 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? Bruised, derided, cursed, defiled, She beheld her tender child All with bloody scourges rent. For the sins of His own nation, Saw Him hang in desolation, Till his spirit forth He sent. O you Mother, fount of love! Touch my spirit from above, Make my heart with yours accord. Make me feel as you have felt, Make my soul to glow and melt With the love of Christ my Lord. Amen. At the shrine the priest says: V. Pray for us, O Virgin of many sorrows. R. That we may be worthy of Christ's promise. Let us pray. Prayer O God, during whose passion, as Simeon had foretold, a sword of sorrow pierced the tender heart of the glorious Virgin and Mother Mary; mercifully grant that we who meditate on her sufferings may attain the blessed effect of your passion. We ask this of you who live and reign forever and ever. R. Amen. Next the Te Deum is sung, along with its versicles and oration.

We praise thee, O God: * we acknowledge thee to be the Lord. All the earth doth worship thee, * the Father everlasting. To thee all the Angels cry aloud, * the Heavens and all the Powers therein: To thee the Cherubim and Seraphim * continually do cry. Holy, Holy, Holy * Lord God of Hosts. Heaven and earth are full * of the majesty of thy glory. The glorious choir * of the Apostles praise thee. The admirable company of the Prophets * praise thee. The white-robed army of Martyrs * praise thee. The holy Church throughout the world * doth acknowledge thee, The Father * of infinite majesty, Thy adorable, true, * and only Son, And the Holy Spirit * the Comforter. Thou art the King of glory, * O Christ. Thou art the everlasting Son * of the Father. Thou, when thou wouldst take human nature to deliver man, * didst not disdain the Virgin’s womb. When thou hadst overcome the sting of death, * thou didst open to believers the kingdom of heaven. Thou sittest at the right hand of God, * in the glory of the Father. We believe that thou shalt come * to be our Judge. We beseech thee, therefore, help thy servants, * whom thou hast redeemed with thy precious Blood. Make them to be numbered with thy Saints * in glory everlasting. O Lord, save thy people, * and bless thine inheritance. Govern them, * and exalt them forever. Day by day * we bless thee; And we praise thy name forever, * yea, forever and ever. Vouchsafe, O Lord, this day * to keep us without sin. Have mercy upon us, O Lord, * have mercy upon us. Let thy mercy be upon us, O Lord, * as we have hoped in thee. O Lord, in thee have I hoped, * let me not be confounded forever. V. Let us bless the Father and the Son, together with the Holy Spirit. R. Let us praise Him and mightily extol Him forever. Let us pray. Prayer O God, Whose mercy is without limits and Whose goodness is a boundless treasury! We thank thy loving Sublimity for bountiful favors, and perseveringly appeal to thy clemency. Desert us not, thou Who hearest thy suppliants, but speed us to final victory. Through Christ our Lord. R. Amen. Then the priest kneels and invokes the help of the Sorrowful Mother, saying the following words three times: V. Virgin, most sorrowful. R. Pray for us. Lastly the priest goes up to the altar predella, and turning toward the people blesses them with the words: Together with her beloved Son, may Mary, Virgin most sorrowful, bless us.

Hymn<br />

At the cross her station keeping,<br />

Stood the mournful Mother weeping,<br />

Close to Jesus to the last.<br />

Through her heart, His sorrows sharing,<br />

All His bitter anguish bearing,<br />

Now at length the sword had passed.<br />

Oh, how sad and sore distressed<br />

Was that Mother highly blest<br />

Of the sole-begotten One.<br />

Christ above in torment hangs;<br />

She beneath beholds the pangs<br />

Of her dying glorious Son.<br />

Is there one who would not weep,<br />

Whelmed in miseries so deep<br />

Christ's dear Mother to behold?<br />

Can the human heart refrain<br />

From partaking in her pain,<br />

In that Mother's pain untold?<br />

Bruised, derided, cursed, defiled,<br />

She beheld her tender child<br />

All with bloody scourges rent.<br />

For the sins of His own nation,<br />

Saw Him hang in desolation,<br />

Till his spirit forth He sent.<br />

O you Mother, fount of love!<br />

Touch my spirit from above,<br />

Make my heart with yours accord.<br />

Make me feel as you have felt,<br />

Make my soul to glow and melt<br />

With the love of Christ my Lord. Amen.<br />

At the shrine the priest says:<br />

V. Pray for us, O Virgin of many sorrows.<br />

R. That we may be worthy of Christ's promise.<br />

Let us pray. Prayer<br />

O God, during whose passion, as Simeon had foretold, a sword of sorrow pierced the tender heart of the glorious<br />

Virgin and Mother Mary; mercifully grant that we who meditate on her sufferings may attain the blessed effect of your<br />

passion. We ask this of you who live and reign forever and ever. R. Amen.<br />
