Incipit
secreto
Pater noster, qui es in cælis, sanctificétur nomen tuum: advéniat regnum tuum: fiat volúntas tua, sicut in cælo et in terra. Panem nostrum quotidiánum da nobis hódie: et dimítte nobis débita nostra, sicut et nos dimíttimus debitóribus nostris: et ne nos indúcas in tentatiónem: sed líbera nos a malo. Amen.
Ave María, grátia plena; Dóminus tecum: benedícta tu in muliéribus, et benedíctus fructus ventris tui Jesus. Sancta María, Mater Dei, ora pro nobis peccatóribus, nunc et in hora mortis nostræ. Amen.
Credo in Deum, Patrem omnipoténtem, Creatórem cæli et terræ. Et in Jesum Christum, Fílium ejus únicum, Dóminum nostrum: qui concéptus est de Spíritu Sancto, natus ex María Vírgine,
passus sub Póntio Piláto, crucifíxus, mórtuus, et sepúltus: descéndit ad ínferos; tértia die resurréxit a mórtuis; ascéndit ad cælos; sedet ad déxteram Dei Patris omnipoténtis: inde ventúrus est judicáre vivos et mórtuos. Credo in Spíritum Sanctum, sanctam Ecclésiam cathólicam,
Sanctórum communiónem, remissiónem peccatórum, carnis resurrectiónem, vitam ætérnam. Amen.
Deinde, clara voce, dicitur Versus:
℣. Dómine, lábia + mea apéries.
℟. Et os meum annuntiábit laudem tuam.
℣. Deus ✠ in adjutórium meum inténde.

Glória Patri, et Fílio, * et Spirítui Sancto.
Sicut erat in princípio, et nunc, et semper, * et in sǽcula sæculórum. Amen.
Laus tibi, Dómine, Rex ætérnæ glóriæ.

Start
silently
Our Father, who art in heaven, Hallowed be thy name. Thy kingdom come. Thy will be done on earth as it is in heaven. Give us this day our daily bread. And forgive us our trespasses, as we forgive those who trespass against us. And lead us not into temptation: But deliver us from evil. Amen.
Hail Mary, full of grace, the Lord is with thee; blessed art thou amongst women, and blessed is the fruit of thy womb, Jesus. Holy Mary, Mother of God, pray for us sinners, now and at the hour of our death. Amen.
I believe in God, the Father almighty, Creator of heaven and earth. And in Jesus Christ, his only Son, our Lord; who was conceived by the Holy Ghost, born of the Virgin Mary, suffered under Pontius Pilate, was crucified, died and was buried: he descended into hell; the third day he arose again from the dead; he ascended into heaven; sitteth at the right hand of God the Father almighty: from thence he shall come to judge the living and the dead. I believe in the Holy Ghost, the holy catholic Church, the communion of Saints, the forgiveness of sins, the resurrection of the body, and life everlasting. Amen.
Thereafter, with hearable voice, the Versicle is said:
℣. O Lord, + open thou my lips.
℟. And my mouth shall declare thy praise.
℣. O God, ✠ come to my assistance;
℟. O Lord, make haste to help me.
Glory be to the Father, and to the Son, * and to the Holy Ghost.
As it was in the beginning, is now, * and ever shall be, world without end. Amen.
Praise be to thee, O Lord, King of eternal glory.

Hymnus {ex Proprio de Tempore}
Sancta Mater, istud agas,
Crucifixi fige plagas
Cordi meo valide:
Tui nati vulnerati,
Tam dignati pro me pati,
Pœnas mecum divide.
Fac me tecum pie flere,
Crucifixo condolere,
Donec ego vixero:
Juxta crucem tecum stare,
Et me tibi sociare
In planctu desidero.
Amen.

Hymn {from the Proper of the season}
Holy Mother! pierce me through;
In my heart each wound renew
Of my Saviour 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.
Amen.

De Isaía Prophéta
Isa 53:1-5
1 Quis credidit auditui nostro? et brachium Domini cui revelatum est?
2 Et ascendet sicut virgultum coram eo, et sicut radix de terra sitienti. Non est species ei, neque decor, et vidimus eum, et non erat aspectus, et desideravimus eum:
3 Despectum, et novissimum virorum, virum dolorum, et scientem infirmitatem, et quasi absconditus vultus ejus et despectus, unde nec reputavimus eum.
4 Vere languores nostros ipse tulit, et dolores nostros ipse portavit; et nos putavimus eum quasi leprosum, et percussum a Deo, et humiliatum.
5 Ipse autem vulneratus est propter iniquitates nostras; attritus est propter scelera nostra: disciplina pacis nostræ super eum, et livore ejus sanati sumus.
℣. Tu autem, Dómine, miserére nobis.
℟. Deo grátias.
℟. Dilectus meus candidus, et rubicundus, et totus desiderabilis:
* Omnis enim figura ejus amorem spirat, et ad redamandum provocat caput inclinatum, manus expansæ, pectus apertum.
℣. Piis, o Virgo, spectas eum oculis, contemplans in eo non tam vulnerum livorem, quam mundi salutem.

Lesson from the book of Isaias
Isa 53:1-5
1 WHO hath believed our report? and to whom is the arm of the Lord revealed?
2 And he shall grow up as a tender plant before him, and as a root out of a thirsty ground: there is no beauty in him, nor comeliness: and we have seen him, and there was no sightliness, that we should be desirous of him:
3 Despised, and the most abject of men, a man of sorrows, and acquainted with infirmity: and his look was as it were hidden and despised, whereupon we esteemed him not.
4 Surely he hath borne our infirmities and carried our sorrows: and we have thought him as it were a leper, and as one struck by God and afflicted.
5 But he was wounded for our iniquities, he was bruised for our sins: the chastisement of our peace was upon him, and by his bruises we are healed.
℣. But thou, O Lord, have mercy upon us.
℟. Thanks be to God.
℟. My Beloved is white and ruddy, yea, He is altogether lovely;
* For the sight of Him doth altogether breathe of love, and stirreth up to love in return; His Head is bowed down, His Hands are stretched out, and His Side is opened.
℣. Maiden and Mother, thou didst look upon Him with eyes full of tenderness, and there thou sawest not only that thy Son was smitten, but that the world was saved.
℟. For the sight of Him doth altogether breathe of love, and stirreth up to love in return; His Head is bowed down, His Hands are stretched out, and His Side is opened.

7 Oblatus est quia ipse voluit, et non aperuit os suum; sicut ovis ad occisionem ducetur, et quasi agnus coram tondente se obmutescet, et non aperiet os suum.
8 De angustia, et de judicio sublatus est. Generationem ejus quis enarrabit? quia abscissus est de terra viventium: propter scelus populi mei percussi eum.
9 Et dabit impios pro sepultura, et divitem pro morte sua, eo quod iniquitatem non fecerit, neque dolus fuerit in ore ejus.

Isa 53:6-9
6 All we like sheep have gone astray, every one hath turned aside into his own way: and the Lord hath laid on him the iniquity of us all.
7 He was offered because it was his own will, and he opened not his mouth: he shall be led as a sheep to the slaughter, and shall be dumb as a lamb before his shearer, and he shall not open his mouth.
8 He was taken away from distress, and from judgment: who shall declare his generation? because he is cut off out of the land of the living: for the wickedness of my people have I struck him.
9 And he shall give the ungodly for his burial, and the rich for his death: because he hath done no iniquity, neither was there deceit in his mouth.

10 And the Lord was pleased to bruise him in infirmity: if he shall lay down his life for sin, he shall see a long-lived seed, and the will of the Lord shall be prosperous in his hand.
11 Because his soul hath laboured, he shall see and be filled: by his knowledge shall this my just servant justify many, and he shall bear their iniquities.
12 Therefore will I distribute to him very many, and he shall divide the spoils of the strong, because he hath delivered his soul unto death, and was reputed with the wicked: and he hath borne the sins of many, and hath prayed for the transgressors.

40:8 All my enemies whispered together against me: * they devised evils to me.
40:9 They determined against me an unjust word: * shall he that sleepeth rise again no more?
40:10 For even the man of my peace, in whom I trusted, * who ate my bread, hath greatly supplanted me.
40:11 But thou, O Lord, have mercy on me, and raise me up again: * and I will requite them.
40:12 By this I know, that thou hast had a good will for me: * because my enemy shall not rejoice over me.
40:13 But thou hast upheld me by reason of my innocence: * and hast established me in thy sight for ever.
40:14 Blessed be the Lord the God of Israel from eternity to eternity. * So be it. So be it.

Sermo de duodecim stellis
Martýrium Vírginis tam in Simeónis prophetía, quam in ipsa Domínicæ passiónis história commendátur. Pósitus est hic (ait sanctus senex de púero Jesu) in signum cui contradicétur; et tuam ipsíus ánimam (ad Maríam autem dicébat) pertransíbit gládius. Vere tuam, o beáta Mater, ánimam pertransívit. Alióquin non nisi eam pertránsiens, carnem Fílii tui penetráret. Et quidem posteáquam emísit spíritum tuus ille Jesus, ipsíus plane non áttigit ánimam crudélis láncea, quæ ipsíus apéruit latus, sed tuam útique ánimam pertransívit. Ipsíus nimírum ánima jam ibi non erat, sed tua plane inde nequíbat avélli.
℣. Tu autem, Dómine, miserére nobis.
℟. Deo grátias.
℟. Tenebræ factæ sunt, dum crucifixissent Jesum Judæi, et circa horam nonam exclamavit Jesus voce magna: Deus meus, ut quid dereliquisti me?

Reading 4
From the Sermons of St. Bernard, Abbot of Clairvaux.
On the twelve stars
The Martyrdom of the Virgin is set before us, not only in the prophecy of Simeon, but also in the story itself of the Lord's Passion. The holy old man said of the Child Jesus Luke ii. 34, Behold, this Child is set for the fall and the rising again of many in Israel; and for a sign which shall be spoken against; yea, said he unto Mary, a sword shall pierce through thine own soul also Even so, O Blessed Mother! The sword did indeed pierce through thy soul! for nought could pierce the Body of thy Son, nor pierce thy soul likewise. Yea, and when this Jesus of thine had given up the ghost, and the bloody spear could torture Him no more, thy soul winced as it pierced His dead Side His Own Soul might leave Him, but thine could not.
℣. But thou, O Lord, have mercy upon us.
℟. Thanks be to God.
℟. The Jews crucified Jesus; and there was darkness; and about the ninth hour Jesus cried with a loud voice My God, why hast Thou forsaken Me?
* And He bowed His Head, and gave up the Ghost.
℣. O what a sickening at heart was thine at that moment, O Mother!
℟. And He bowed His Head, and gave up the Ghost.

Tuam ergo pertransívit ánimam vis dolóris, ut plusquam Mártyrem non immérito prædicémus, in qua nimírum corpóreæ sensum passiónis excésserit compassiónis afféctus. An non tibi plusquam gládius fuit sermo ille, revéra pertránsiens ánimam, et pertíngens usque ad divisiónem ánimæ et spíritus: Múlier, ecce fílius tuus? O commutatiónem! Joánnes tibi pro Jesu tráditur, servus pro Dómino, discípulus pro Magístro, fílius Zebedǽi pro Fílio Dei, homo purus pro Deo vero. Quómodo non tuam affectuosíssimam ánimam pertransíret hæc audítio, quando et nostra, licet sáxea, licet férrea péctora, sola recordátio scindit?

The sword of sorrow pierced through thy soul, so that we may truly call thee more than martyr, in whom the love, that made thee suffer along with thy Son, wrung thy heart more bitterly than any pang of bodily pain could do. Did not that word of His indeed pierce through thy soul, sharper than any two-edged sword, even to the dividing asunder of soul and spirit, Heb. iv. 12, Woman, behold thy son! John xix. 26. O what a change to thee! Thou art given John for Jesus, the servant for his Lord, the disciple for his master, the son of Zebedee for the Son of God, a mere man for Very God. O how keenly must the hearing of those words have pierced through thy most loving soul, when even our hearts, stony, iron, as they are, are wrung at the memory thereof only!
℣. But thou, O Lord, have mercy upon us.
℟. Thanks be to God.
℟. The suffering of the Lord was
* Asorrow exceeding sorrowful to her, His Mother, crushed by a natural bereavement.
℣. The iron of the soldier's lance pierced through the Side of the Redeemer, and through the soul of the Virgin Mother.

Non mirémini, fratres, quod María Martyr in ánima fuísse dicátur. Mirétur qui non memínerit se audivísse Paulum inter máxima géntium crímina memorántem, quod sine affectióne fuíssent. Longe id fuit a Maríæ viscéribus, longe sit a sérvulis ejus. Sed forte quis dicat: Numquid non eum præscíerat moritúrum? Et indubitánter. Numquid non sperábat contínuo resurrectúrum? Et fidéliter. Super hæc dóluit crucifíxum? Et veheménter. Alióquin quisnam tu, frater, aut unde tibi hæc sapiéntia, ut miréris plus Maríæ Fílium patiéntem? Ille étiam mori córpore pótuit; ista cómmori corde non pótuit? Fecit illud cáritas, qua majórem nemo hábuit; fecit et hoc cáritas, cui post illam símilis áltera non fuit.

Marvel not, my brethren, that Mary should be called a Martyr in spirit. He indeed may marvel who remembereth not what Paul saith, naming the greater sins of the Gentiles, that they were without natural affection, Rom. i. 31. Far other were the bowels of Mary, and far other may those of her servants be! But some man perchance will say Did she not know that He was to die? Yea, without doubt, she knew it. Did she not hope that He was soon to rise again? Yea, she most faithfully hoped it. And did she still mourn because He was crucified? Yea, bitterly. But who art thou, my brother, or whence hast thou such wisdom, to marvel less that the Son of Mary suffered than that Mary suffered with Him? He could die in the Body, and could not she die with Him in her heart? His was the deed of that Love, greater than which hath no man John xv. 13; hers, of a love, like to which hath no man, save He.
℣. But thou, O Lord, have mercy upon us.
℟. Thanks be to God.
℟. O that Thou wert my brother, that sucked the breasts of my mother, that I might cleave unto thy Side, till thy Blood touched my blood, and cleansed it!
* O that the Fountain of Water Which floweth from the Well-head of thy Righteous Heart, through thy Veins, Who hast done all things well, may at the last spring up for us into everlasting blessedness!
℣. thy sons shall come from far, and thy daughters shall be nursed at thy Side.
℟. O that the Fountain of Water Which floweth from the Wellhead of thy Righteous Heart, through thy Veins, Who hast done all things well, may at the last spring up for us into everlasting blessedness!
℣. Glory be to the Father, and to the Son, * and to the Holy Ghost.

87:13 Shall thy wonders be known in the dark; * and thy justice in the land of forgetfulness?
87:14 But I, O Lord, have cried to thee: * and in the morning my prayer shall prevent thee.

108:18 Et diléxit maledictiónem, et véniet ei: * et nóluit benedictiónem, et elongábitur ab eo.
108:18 Et índuit maledictiónem sicut vestiméntum, * et intrávit sicut aqua in interióra ejus, et sicut óleum in óssibus ejus.
108:19 Fiat ei sicut vestiméntum, quo operítur: * et sicut zona, qua semper præcíngitur.

108:21 Et tu, Dómine, Dómine, fac mecum propter nomen tuum: * quia suávis est misericórdia tua.
108:22 Líbera me quia egénus, et pauper ego sum: * et cor meum conturbátum est intra me.
108:23 Sicut umbra cum declínat, ablátus sum: * et excússus sum sicut locústæ.
108:24 Génua mea infirmáta sunt a jejúnio: * et caro mea immutáta est propter óleum.
108:25 Et ego factus sum oppróbrium illis: * vidérunt me, et movérunt cápita sua.
108:26 Ádjuva me, Dómine, Deus meus: * salvum me fac secúndum misericórdiam tuam.
108:27 Et sciant quia manus tua hæc: * et tu, Dómine, fecísti eam.

Ant. He hath filled me with bitterness, he hath made me drunken with wormwood.
Psalm 108 [9]
108:2 God, be not thou silent in my praise: * for the mouth of the wicked and the mouth of the deceitful man is opened against me.
108:3 They have spoken against me with deceitful tongues; and they have compassed me about with words of hatred; * and have fought against me without cause.
108:4 Instead of making me a return of love, they detracted me: * but I gave myself to prayer.
108:5 And they repaid me evil for good: * and hatred for my love.
108:6 Set thou the sinner over him: * and may the devil stand at his right hand.
108:7 When he is judged, may he go out condemned; * and may his prayer be turned to sin.
108:8 May his days be few: * and his bishopric let another take.
108:9 May his children be fatherless, * and his wife a widow.
108:10 Let his children be carried about vagabonds, and beg; * and let them be cast out of their dwellings.
108:11 May the usurer search all his substance: * and let strangers plunder his labours.
108:12 May there be none to help him: * nor none to pity his fatherless offspring.
108:13 May his posterity be cut off; * in one generation may his name be blotted out.
108:14 May the iniquity of his fathers be remembered in the sight of the Lord: * and let not the sin of his mother be blotted out.
108:15 May they be before the Lord continually, and let the memory of them perish from the earth: * because he remembered not to shew mercy,
108:17 But persecuted the poor man and the beggar; * and the broken in heart, to put him to death.
108:18 And he loved cursing, and it shall come unto him: * and he would not have blessing, and it shall be far from him.
108:18 And he put on cursing, like a garment: * and it went in like water into his entrails, and like oil in his bones.
108:19 May it be unto him like a garment which covereth him; * and like a girdle with which he is girded continually.
108:20 This is the work of them who detract me before the Lord; * and who speak evils against my soul.
108:21 But thou, O Lord, do with me for thy name’s sake: * because thy mercy is sweet.
108:22 Do thou deliver me, for I am poor and needy, * and my heart is troubled within me.
108:23 I am taken away like the shadow when it declineth: * and I am shaken off as locusts.
108:24 My knees are weakened through fasting: * and my flesh is changed for oil.
108:25 And I am become a reproach to them: * they saw me and they shaked their heads.
108:26 Help me, O Lord my God; * save me according to thy mercy.
108:27 And let them know that this is thy hand: * and that thou, O Lord, hast done it.
108:28 They will curse and thou wilt bless: * let them that rise up against me be confounded: but thy servant shall rejoice.
108:29 Let them that detract me be clothed with shame: * and let them be covered with their confusion as with a double cloak.
108:30 I will give great thanks to the Lord with my mouth: * and in the midst of many I will praise him.
108:31 Because he hath stood at the right hand of the poor, * to save my soul from persecutors.
℣. Glory be to the Father, and to the Son, * and to the Holy Ghost.

Homilía sancti Augustíni Epíscopi.
Tract. 119 in Joánnem.
Hæc nimirum est illa hora, de qua Jesus, aquam conversurus in vinum, dixerat Matri: Quid mihi et tibi est mulier? nondum venit hora mea. Hanc ítaque horam prædixerat, quæ tunc nondum venerat, in qua deberet agnoscere moriturus, de qua fuerat mortaliter natus. Tunc ergo divina facturus, non divinitatis, sed infirmitatis matrem velut incognitam repellebat. nunc autem humana jam patiens, ex qua fuerat factus homo, affectu commendabat humano. Moralis igitur insinuatur locus. Facit quod faciendum admonet, et exemplo suo suos ministros instruxit præceptor bonus, ut a filiis piis impendatur cura parentibus: tamquam lignum illud, ubi fixa erant membra morientis, étiam cathedra fuerit magistri docentis.
℣. Tu autem, Dómine, miserére nobis.
℟. Deo grátias.
℟. Doleo super te fili mi Jesu, decorus nimis, et amabilis super amorem mulierum!

From the Holy Gospel according to John
John 19:25-27.
In that time stood by the cross of Jesus, his mother, and his mother's sister, Mary of Cleophas, and Mary Magdalen. And so on.
Homily by St. Augustine, Bishop of Hippo.
11th Tract on John.
This is that hour whereof Jesus, when He was about to turn water into wine, had said unto His Mother Woman, what have I to do with thee? Mine hour is not yet come. John ii. 4. He had spoken of this hour, which then was not yet come, wherein, being about to die, it should be His duty to acknowledge her of whom He had been born in a dying Body. Then, since He was about to work the works of God, He thrust from Him, as though He knew her not, her who was His Mother, not in that nature as touching which He is equal to the Father, but in that as touching which He is inferior to the Father. But now, since He is suffering the pains of Man, He careth, with a Man's love, for her of whom He hath been made Man. And herein He giveth us a lesson. He doth that which He would have us to do. The Good Master, by His Own example, commandeth that among His disciples, dutiful children should succour their parents, as though even that Tree whereupon His dying Limbs were nailed, even that Tree were to be a pulpit for His teaching.
℣. But thou, O Lord, have mercy upon us.
℟. Thanks be to God.
℟. I am distressed for thee, my Son Jesus, very pleasant hast Thou been unto me; thy love to me was wonderful, passing the love of women;
* For even as a mother loveth her only Son, so loved I thee.
℣. My life is spent with grief, and my years with sighing.
℟. For even as a mother loveth her only Son, so loved I thee.

Ex hac sana doctrina didicerat Paulus Apostolus quod docebat quando dicebat: Si quis autem suis, et maxime domesticis non providet, fidem negavit, et est infideli deterior, Quid autem tam cuique domesticum, quam parentes filiis, aut parentibus filii? Hujus ítaque saluberrimi præcepti ipse Magister Sanctorum de seipso constituebat exemplum: quando non ut famulæ Deus, quam creaverat, et regebat; sed ut matri homo, de qua creatus fuerat, et quam relinquebat, alterum pro se quodammodo filium providebat.
℣. Tu autem, Dómine, miserére nobis.
℟. Deo grátias.
℟. Eia, Mater fons amoris, fac nos sentire vim doloris, ut tecum lugeamus:
* Et Dominicæ passionis fructum sentiamus.

And of this teaching by Jesus Crucified cometh that which the Apostle Paul commandeth, where he saith, 1 Tim. v. 8 If any provide not for his own, and specially for those of his own house, he hath denied the faith, and is worse than an infidel. But what is so much of a man's own house, as children are of their parents'? and parents of their children's? Of this most healthy law the Master of the Saints was pleased Himself to give an example, when, being God, He treated not as His handmaid her of whom He was the Maker and the Lord, but, being also Man, gave another to be as a son in His stead, to her of whom as Man He had been made, and whom He was leaving.
℣. But thou, O Lord, have mercy upon us.
℟. Thanks be to God.
℟. Fount of love and holy sorrow, Mother! may my spirit borrow Somewhat of thy woe profound;
* Unto Christ, with pure emotion, Raise my contrite heart's devotion, Love to read in every Wound.
℣. That as thy Son Jesus for our sakes died and rose again, so we also who have died with Him may rise again with Him.

Tract. 49 in Joannem, sub finem
Pontífices et pharisǽi sibi consulébant: nec tamen dicébant: Credámus. Plus enim pérditi hómines cogitábant, quómodo nocérent, ut pérderent, quam quómodo sibi consúlerent, ne perírent: et tamen timébant, et quasi consulébant. Dicébant enim: Quid fácimus, quia hic homo multa signa facit? Si dimíttimus eum sic, omnes credent in eum: et vénient Románi, et tóllent nostrum locum et gentem.

Homily on the Feria
From the holy Gospel according to John.
John 11:47-54
The chief priests therefore, and the Pharisees, gathered a council, and said: What do we, for this man doth many miracles? If we let him alone so, all will believe in him; and the Romans will come, and take away our place and nation. And so on.
Homily by St. Augustine, Bishop of Hippo.
49th Tract on John.
The chief Priests and the Pharisees took counsel together, but Let us believe in Him was not one of the suggestions offered. Those lost creatures thought much more how they might hurt and undo Him, than how they might save themselves from perishing. And yet they were afraid, and took counsel together, and said What do we? For this Man doeth many miracles. If we let Him thus alone, all men will believe on Him; and the Romans shall come and take away both our place and our nation. They were afraid of losing temporal things, but they gave no thought to eternal life, and so they lost both.
℣. But thou, O Lord, have mercy upon us.
℟. Thanks be to God.

Dicto Hymno « Te Deum » aut nono vel tertio Responsorio ejus loco ponitur, statim inchoantur Laudes, præterquam in Nocte Nativitatis Domini; quia tunc dicitur Oratio, postea celebratur Missa, ut suo loco notatur.

After the hymn Te Deum laudamus or the ninth or third responsory has been recited, one begins directly with the Laudes, with the exception of Christmas Night: in this one prays the Oratio and then the Christmas mass is celebrated as it is stated at the appropriate place.

O God, at Whose Passion, according to the prophecy of Simeon, a sword of sorrow pierced through the gentle soul of the glorious Maiden and Mother Mary, mercifully grant to as many as do ever remember with awe how that her soul was pierced and Thou didst suffer, even for all such be Thou entreated, for the sake and by the prayers of all thy glorious and holy servants who stood so loyally by thy Cross, and grant unto the same, that for them thy life-giving Death may not have been in vain.
Who livest and reignest with God the Father in the unity of the Holy Spirit, God, world without end.
℟. Amen.
