Hymnus
Stabat Mater dolorósa iuxta crucem lacrimósa, dum pendébat Fílius.
Standing, the sorrowful Mother, Near the cross was in tears, When her Son was hanging.
Cuius ánimam geméntem, contristátam et doléntem, pertransívit gládius.
Into his groaning soul, All broken and aching, The sword was thrust.
O quam tristis et afflícta fuit illa benedícta mater Unigéniti!
How sad and afflicted she was, this blessed Mother of the Only Begotten!
Quæ mærébat et dolébat, pia mater, cum vidébat Nati pœnas íncliti.
She grieved and suffered, this tender Mother, seeing the sorrows of her glorious Child.
Quis est homo qui non fleret, matrem Christi si vidéret in tanto supplício?
What man would not weep, If he saw the Mother of Christ In such great torment?
Quis non posset contristári, piam matrem contemplári doléntem cum Fílio?
Who could without sadness Contemplate the pious Mother Suffering with her Son?
Pro peccátis suæ gentis vidit Iesum in torméntis, et flagéllis súbditum.
For the sins of her people, She saw Jesus in torments, Subjected to whips.
Vidit suum dulcem Natum moriéntem desolátum, cum emísit spíritum. Amen.
She saw her sweet Child Dying, forsaken, When he gave up the ghost. Amen.

Quam bonus rectis est Deus, * Deus his, qui mundo sunt corde!
How good God is to those who are pure in heart!
Mei autem pæne moti sunt pedes, * pæne effúsi sunt gressus mei,
My feet were almost shaken, my steps almost reversed,
quia zelávi super gloriántes, * pacem peccatórum videns.
forasmuch as I have envied the wicked, when I behold the peace of sinners.
Quia non sunt eis impediménta, * sanus et pinguis est venter eórum.
For death seems to forget them, and their wounds do not last.
In labóre mortálium non sunt * et cum homínibus non flagellántur.
They have no share in the labor of mortals, and they are not smitten like other men.
Ídeo quasi torques est eis supérbia, * et tamquam induméntum opéruit eos violéntia.
Wherefore pride has seized them; they are covered with their iniquity and ungodliness.
Prodit quasi ex ádipe iníquitas eórum, * erúmpunt cogitatiónes cordis.
Iniquity comes out as from their fat; they have abandoned themselves unto the passions of their hearts.
Subsannavérunt et locúti sunt nequítiam, * iniquitátem ab excélso locúti sunt.
Their thoughts and words have been naught but malice; they have uttered iniquity loudly.
Posuérunt in cælo os suum, * et lingua eórum transívit in terra.
They opened their mouths against Heaven, and their tongues roamed the earth.
Ídeo in alto sedent, * et aquæ plenæ non pervénient ad eos.
Et dixérunt: “Quómodo scit Deus, * et si est sciéntia in Excélso?”
And they said, How does God know? * And does the Most High know about it?
Ecce ipsi peccatóres et abundántes in sǽculo * multiplicavérunt divítias.
Behold at those sinners who abound in everything in this world: they have acquired new riches.

Et dixi: “Ergo sine causa mundávi cor meum * et lavi in innocéntia manus meas;
And I said, In vain did I purify my heart, and washed my hands amongst the innocent,
et fui flagellátus tota die, * et castigátio mea in matutínis.”
since I have been afflicted all day, and chastened in the morning.
Si dixíssem: “Lóquar ut illi”, * ecce generatiónem filiórum tuórum prodidíssem.
If I had said, "I will speak in this sense," I would have condemned the race of Thy children.
Et cogitábam, ut cognóscerem hoc; * labor erat in óculis meis,
I thought of penetrating this secret; the difficulty was great before me,
donec intrávi in sanctuárium Dei * et intelléxi novíssima eórum.
until such time as such time as I had entered the sanctuary of God, and understood what their end would be.
Verúmtamen in lúbrico posuísti eos, * deiecísti eos in ruínas.
Verily, these are snares that Thou hast set before them; Thou overthrew them just as they were rising.
Quómodo facti sunt in desolatiónem! * Súbito defecérunt, periérunt præ horróre.
How did they fall into desolation? They disappeared suddenly; they have perished forasmuch as of their iniquity.
Velut sómnium evigilántis, Dómine, * surgens imáginem ipsórum contémnes.
Like the dream of those who awaken, O Lord, Thou shalt reduce their image to naught in Thy city.

My flesh and my heart have failed, O God, who is the God of my heart, and my portion for eternity.

De libro Osée prophétæ 9, 1-14
Hæc dicit Dóminus: Noli lætári, Israel; noli exsultáre sicut pópuli, quia fornicátus es a Deo tuo, dilexísti mercédem super omnes áreas trítici. Area et tórcular non pascet eos, et vinum mentiétur eis. Non manébunt in terra Dómini: revertétur Ephraim in Ægýptum, et in Assýria pollútum cómedent. Non libábunt Dómino vinum et non placébunt ei sacrifícia eórum; quasi panis lugéntium erunt eis: omnes, qui cómedent eum, contaminabúntur, quia panis eórum erit tantúmmodo pro vita ipsórum; non intrábit in domum Dómini.
Quid faciétis in die sollémni, in die festivitátis Dómini? Ecce enim profécti sunt a vastitáte; Ægýptus congregábit eos, Memphis sepéliet eos: desiderábile argéntum eórum urtíca hereditábit, spina in tabernáculis eórum. Venérunt dies visitatiónis, venérunt dies retributiónis: sciat Israel!
"Stultus - clamet - est prophéta; insánus vir spiritális." Secúndum multitúdinem iniquitátis tuæ multæ sunt inimicítiæ tuæ. Speculátur Ephraim, pópulus Dei mei, prophétam; láqueus aúcupis super omnes vias eius, inimicítiæ in ipsa domo Dei eius. Profúnde peccavérunt sicut in diébus Gábaa; recordábitur iniquitátis eórum et visitábit peccáta eórum. Quasi uvas in desérto invéni Israel, quasi prima poma ficúlneæ in inítio eius vidi patres vestros; ipsi autem intravérunt ad Baálphegor et se consecravérunt Confusióni et facti sunt abominábiles sicut id quod dilexérunt. Ephraim quasi avis avolábit glória eórum, a partu et ab útero et a concéptu. Quod si et enutríerint fílios suos, absque líberis eos fáciam, absque homínibus; sed et væ eis, cum recéssero ab eis! Ephraim, ut vidi, in venatiónem pósuit sibi fílios suos, et Ephraim edúcit ad interfectórem fílios suos. Da eis, Dómine! Quid dabis eis? Da eis vulvam sine líberis et úbera aréntia!
r. Deus, in te sperávi, Dómine, non confúndar in ætérnum. * In tua iustítia líbera me et éripe me. v. Esto mihi in Deum protectórem et in locum munítum, ut salvum me fácias. * In tua iustítia. v. Glória Patri. * In tua iustítia.
In secundo nocturno anno I)
Ex Tractátibus Balduíni Cantuariénsis epíscopi (Tract. 6: PL 204, 457)
Sæpe in languóre fílii plus cruciátur mater cóndolens, quam fílius dolens. Facit hoc amor, qui aliénum dolórem in se transfert; et sese cum augménto dolóris, ut plus condóleat quam alter dóleat, qui nonnúmquam desíderat solus dolére, ne alter dóleat. In passióne autem condoléndi, ánima condoléntis quodam modo divíditur a se, et in se. Nam, cum pátitur, qui amátur, ut dolórem eius sibi fáciat commúnem, se illi indúlget, et se transfúndit extra se; et per obséquium compassiónis se illi unit, ut vicem eius dóleat; et quodám modo præstat, ut eius sit, cui se per afféctum condoléndi infúdit, tamquam vivens apud illum, cuius sentit cruciátum.
Unde senex Sýmeon, cum prophetásset de Christo et dixísset: Ecce hic pósitus est in ruínam et resurrectiónem multórum in Israel et in signum cui contradicétur, mox ad beátam Vírginem loquens subíntulit, dicens: Et tuam ipsíus ánimam gládius pertransíbit. Mater quippe Dei, quæ plus ómnibus diléxit, sicut et plus ómnibus dilécta, ita moriénti fílio compássa est, quasi vere passa. Nam secúndum magnitúdinem amóris eius, ita et dolor eius. Nam, cum fílium dilígeret plus quam se, vúlnera quæ ipse accépit in córpore, intímo sensu dolóris pértulit ipsa in mente; cui et ipsa pássio Christi pro martýrio fuit.
Nam caro Christi quodam modo caro eius fuit, hoc est caro de carne eius, quam a Christo suscéptam de se plus amávit in Christo, quam suam in se. Quæ quanto plus amávit, tanto et plus dóluit; plus passa in mente quam martyr in córpore. Proínde gloriósi martýrii singulári privilégio præfúlget. Céteri nempe mártyres martýrio própriæ mortis consummáti sunt. At hæc carnem de carne sua pro salúte mundi passúram ministrávit, et in passióne Christi, et de passióne, ita ánimam eius vis dolóris obtínuit, ut quasi in Christo martýrio consummáta, summam post Christum martýrii glóriam meruísse credátur.
Orémus.
Deus, qui Fílio tuo in cruce exaltáto compatiéntem Matrem astáre voluísti, † da Ecclésiæ tuæ, ut, Christi passiónis cum ipsa consors effécta, eiúsdem resurrectiónis párticeps esse mereátur. Qui tecum.
God, who, beside thy Son, lifted up on the cross, wanted to present his Sorrowful Mother: grant to thy Church, associated with her in the Passion of Christ, to be a partaker of his resurrection.
