Responsory for the Feast of Our Lady of Sorrows:
Vadis propitiator ad immolandum pro omnibus;
non tibi occurrit Petrus, qui dicebat mori tecum;
reliquit te Thomas, qui aiebat: Omnes cum eo moriamur:
*Et ne unus ex illis, nisi tu solus duceris, qui castam me confortasti,
Filius et Deus meus.
V. Promittentes tecum in carcerem et in mortem ire,
relicto te, fugerunt. * Et ne unus...
Gloria Patri... * Et ne unus...
Thou goest to be immolated in propitiation for all;
Peter does not run to Thee, who said He would die for Thee;
Thomas has abandoned Thee, who said: Let us all die with Him:
*And not one of them is led away, except Thou alone,
Who hast strengthened me in chastity, o my Son and my God.
V. Those who promised to go to prison and death with Thee
have fled, abandoning Thee.
