Stabat Mater dolorosa Iuxta crucem lacrimosa Dum pendebat Filius Cuius animam gementem Contristatam et dolentem Pertransivit gladius Quando corpus morietur, Fac, ut animae donetur Paradisi gloria. Amen A setting of the Stabat Mater text from Nebbiu, Corsica. This style of hymn singing from southern Corsica is sparsely ornamented, in contrast to the more typical elaborate ornamentation in most Corsican sacred music. It was recorded live in the refectory at Mont Saint-Michel, France.

"Stabat Mater" – Hymn in honour of the Seven Sorrows of the Blessed Virgin Mary – Gregorian Chant" on YouTube

O Dolorosa.

assis en ce jardin, peut-être déjà au bord de l'été, au bord d'un inconnu ; pressentiment d’un vide ; une couleur s’est décidée à naître, à fragmenter le proche immédiat en un lointain d’annonces, à être plus que les autres parmi la multitude qui flamboie ; l’automne alors qui tombe là au milieu de l’image ciselée par la force de son ressenti qui s’en est emparé ; rien ne résiste à la pression des basculements, tout est condamné à avancer dans une même immobilité

le deuil est une constellation de petites avancées imperceptibles qui sont aussi comme des replis et qui scintillent parmi la grande lumière

"The Sorrowful Mother Was Standing"

Our Lady of Sorrows – 5th Sorrow: At the Cross of Her Son

Stabat Mater Caswall English Translation:

At the Cross her station keeping, stood the mournful Mother weeping, close to her Son to the last.

Through her heart, His sorrow sharing, all His bitter anguish bearing, now at length the sword has passed.

O how sad and sore distressed was that Mother, highly blest, of the sole-begotten One.

Christ above in torment hangs, she beneath beholds the pangs of her dying glorious Son.

Is there one who would not weep, whelmed in miseries so deep, Christ's dear Mother to behold?

Can the human heart refrain from partaking in her pain, in that Mother's pain untold?

For the sins of His own nation, She saw Jesus wracked with torment, All with scourges rent:

She beheld her tender Child, Saw Him hang in desolation, Till His spirit forth He sent.

O thou Mother! fount of love! Touch my spirit from above, make my heart with thine accord:

Make me feel as thou hast felt; make my soul to glow and melt with the love of Christ my Lord.

Holy Mother! pierce me through, in my heart each wound renew of my Savior crucified:

Let me share with thee His pain, who for all my sins was slain, who for me in torments died.

Let me mingle tears with thee, mourning Him who mourned for me, all the days that I may live:

By the Cross with thee to stay, there with thee to weep and pray, is all I ask of thee to give.

Virgin of all virgins blest!, Listen to my fond request: let me share thy grief divine;

Let me, to my latest breath, in my body bear the death of that dying Son of thine.

Wounded with His every wound, steep my soul till it hath swooned, in His very Blood away;

Be to me, O Virgin, nigh, lest in flames I burn and die, in His awful Judgment Day.

Christ, when Thou shalt call me hence, be Thy Mother my defense, be Thy Cross my victory;

While my body here decays, may my soul Thy goodness praise, Safe in Paradise with Thee.

.🗡️🗡️🗡️🗡️🗡️🗡️.

I found this hymn today. It is a part of the Liturgy of Our Lady of Sorrows. Being that it is her Feast Day I thought I would share it. It describes Virgin Mary standing at the cross of her Son weeping for him, in the hymn we implore her to allow us to join her in her sorrow. It is quite beautiful.

While she means so much more to me than I've yet been able to write, and may never be able to write, here is a part of what she means to me. Loyalty & Piety to her God, accepting a journey so important she accepted it knowing the grief it would cause, strength in the face of that grief. The 5th Sorrow is watching her son die, grief beyond words for any parent, and she stood there with strength.

Okay but Pergolesi's Stabat Mater actually goes so hard. The incredibly slow opening and the overlap of only two voices? Literally perfection. I have embraced it. I am a stan. Sorry to the Council of Trent <3

[ That's beautiful ! He answers ! Then they tell you "Saints are only those who shed blood". Here to see some blood…. ] Elder Sophronius of Essex: I myself mourned as accursed because I could not live as a Christian. The more ardent our desire to follow Christ - though we find ourselves unable - our minds and hearts are filled with another pain, not that for the redemption of the world, but for our own redemption. If I have no right to harm your own life, I speak for myself. When I saw how I was unable to love as Christ does towards us, I felt like the most pitiful person in the world, as if I was threatened by a terrible curse, and I wept for decades, I understand that when you too see this recklessness, inability to follow Christ, your hearts are truly filled with pain. Our suffering is proportional to our love for Christ. We cannot follow Christ without lessons. That is why Christ said, "Whoever takes up this cross and follows me is not worthy of me. "We cannot change the character of this road. Know it well that when people of the resurrection of seraphim, siluan and other practitioners cried to their extinction, it was a result of love suffering in this world. I have asked that only you come today. So please save this where I have entrusted my life to you. Don't make it easy for everyone. I myself have mourned as cursed because of my inability to live as a Christian. As for us, we have chosen this path that was watered with tears. However, we must maintain the attitude of the "cultured" spiritual monks: We must not show our pain in the presence of others. We should not even talk about it in most cases. That's why our visitors admire: "Here is a place of peace, a place of prayer, where you feel the presence of God." But we ourselves suffer! We are broken by work and cannot live according to his commands. I myself have had moments when it seemed that following Christ was so hard that I could no longer follow him, "No…. if it is for this price, I don't want it! ". I live in the pain of being unworthy of salvation. If I live like that, my whole life is just a judgement. Do you understand why we will not have a crisis? Because we are constantly experiencing it from here.

Maria Corredentrice, anche lo Stabat Mater canta di Lei

Pio XI è stato il primo papa a usare direttamente, in discorsi ufficiali, il titolo di Corredentrice. Ma questa verità, insita pure nelle parole di Simeone, già da tempo era chiara al popolo di Dio. Si pensi a Iacopone da Todi e al suo Stabat Mater, musicato da grandissimi compositori fin dal XV secolo. (more…) “”
