At the Cross her station keeping/ Loving Mother unrelenting/ Close to Jesus to the last

I grieve for thee O Mary... photo by F. Po Ng on Flickr.

I grieve for thee O Mary, most sorrowful,
in the martyrdom which thy generous heart endured
in standing near Jesus in his agony.
Dear Mother, by thy afflicted heart,
obtain for me the virtue of temperance
and the gift of counsel.

Amen.

Wisdom!

Let us attend!


More honorable than the Cherubim,
and beyond compare more glorious than the Seraphim,
Thee who without corruption gavest birth to God the Word,
the very Theotokos,
Thee do we magnify!


Kyrie Eleison,
Christe Eleison,
Kyrie Eleison!

Glory to the Father and to the Son and to the Holy Spirit,
As it was in the beginning, both now and ever unto the ages of ages!

Amen.
