V. At the Cross her station keeping,
R. Stood the mournful Mother weeping, close to Jesus to the last.
Hail Mary… Holy Mary, Mother of God…
V. O sweet Mother! fount of love,
R. Touch my spirit from above, make my heart with yours accord.
Hail Mary… Holy Mary, Mother of God…
V. Let me, to my latest breath,
R. In my body bear the death, of that dying Son of yours.
Hail Mary… Holy Mary, Mother of God…
V. Christ, when You shall call me hence,
R. Be Your Mother my defense, be Your Cross my victory.
Hail Mary… Holy Mary, Mother of God…
Let us pray:
REMEMBER, O most gracious Virgin Mary, that never was it known that anyone who fled to thy protection, implored thy help, or sought thy intercession was left unaided. Inspired by this confidence, I fly unto thee, O Virgin of virgins, my Mother; to thee do I come; before thee I stand, sinful and sorrowful. O Mother of the Word Incarnate, despise not my petitions, but in thy mercy hear and answer me. Amen.
