STABAT MATER DOLOROSA

MP3
Stabat mater dolorosa
Juxta Crucem lacrimosa
Dum pendebat Filius.

MP3
Cujus animam gementem,
Contristatam et dolentem,
Pertransivit gladius.

MP3
O quam tristis et afflicta
Fuit illa benedicta
Mater Unigeniti.

MP3
Quae maerebat et dolebat,
Pia Mater, dum videbat
Nati poenas inclyti.

MP3
Quis est homo, qui non fleret,
Matrem Christi si videret
In tanto supplicio?

MP3
Quis non posset contristari,
Christi Matrem contemplari
Dolentem cum Filio?

MP3
Pro peccatis suae gentis
Vidit J`esum in tormentis
Et flagellis subditum.

MP3
Vidit suum dulcem natum
Moriendo desolatum
Dum emisit spiritum.

MP3
Eia, Mater, fons amoris
Me sentire vim doloris
Fac, ut tecum lugeam.

MP3
Fac, ut ardeat cor meum,
In amando Christum Deum
Ut sibi complaceam.

MP3
Sancta Mater, istud agas,
Crucifixi fige plagas,
Cordi meo valide.

MP3
Tui nati vulnerati,
Tam dignitati pro me pati,
Poenas mecum divide.

MP3
Fac me vere tecum flere,
Crucifixo condolere,
Donec ego vixero.

MP3
Juxta crucem tecum stare,
Et me tibi sociare
In plancto desidero.

MP3
Virgo virginium praeclara,
Mihi jam non sis amara,
Fac me tecum plangere.

MP3
Fac, ut portem Christi mortem,
Passionis fac consortem
Et plagas recolere.

MP3
Fac me plagis vulnerari,
Fac me cruce inebriari
Et cruore Filii.

MP3
Flammis ne urar succensus
Per te, Virgo, sim defensus
In die iudicii.

MP3
Christe, cum sit hinc exire,
De per Matrem me venire
Ad palmam victoriae.

RA or MP3
Quando corpus morietur,
Fac ut animae donetur
Paradisi gloria.

Amen. Alleluia.
