Sancta Maria, pray for me

You walked on thorns silently

Wincing when they scourged Him but watching over me

Gasping when He bled yet worrying about me

Sobbing when He stumbled and pardoning me

O Mother of Sorrow, how I revere Thee

I see light, because you wept

I see hope, because you hurt

I live, because you obeyed

O Mater Dolorosa, how I love Thee

You endured humbly

Forsaking life for my joy

Bearing grief for my strength

Facing disgrace to save my soul

O Tabernacle of God, how can I repay Thee?

I bid thee,

Teach me obedience in confusion

Teach me patience in judgement

Teach me sacrifice in poverty

Teach me forgiveness in prejudice

O Mater Amabilis, I intercede in Thee
