Let us come with confidence to the throne of grace, that we may obtain mercy, and may find grace in seasonable aid. Psalm. My heart hath uttered a good word: I speak my works to the King.
Adeámus cum fidúcia ad thronum grátiæ, ut misericórdiam consequámur, et grátiam inveniámus in auxílio opportúno. Ps. 44:2. Eructávit cor meum verbum bonum: dico ego ópera mea Regi.

26 When Jesus therefore saw his mother, and the disciple standing by, whom he loved, he saith unto his mother, Woman, behold thy son!
27 Then saith he to the disciple, Behold thy mother! And from that hour that disciple took her unto his own home.
Frau, hier siehe deinen Sohn, Und du, siehe deine Mutter!
Additional text: Mutter Jesu, die du trostlos weinend, Seufzend bei dem Kreuze standst, Und die Qualen seines Leidens In der Stund’ des bittern Schneidens Siebenfach in dir empfandst. Kaum mehr fähig, dich zu fassen, Und doch standhaft und gelassen, Nimmst als Sohn den freuen Jünger Und mit ihm auch uns als Kinder an. Mutter Jesu, o du Zuflucht aller Sünder, Hör das Flehen deiner Kinder. O du Zuflucht aller Sünder, Steh uns bei im letzten Streit, Mutter voll der Zärtlichkeit, O steh uns allen bei! Wenn wir mit dem Tode ringen Und aus dem beklemmten Herzen Unsre Seufzer zu dir dringen, Lass uns, Mutter, lass uns da nicht unterliegen!
Translation of additional text: Mother of Jesus, weeping in despair, standing sighing by the Cross, and in the hour of bitter parting, the torments of his suffering thou didst feel in sevenfold measure.
Barely conscious in thy anguish, yet ever steadfast and composed, thou didst take as thy son the faithful disciple and didst take all of us as thy children.
Mother of Jesus, refuge of all sinners, hear the entreaty of thy children.
Refuge of all sinners, be with us in our final throes, Mother full of tenderness be our succour!
When with death we struggle and the sighs of our fearful hearts rise aloft to thee, let us not, Mother, let us not succumb!
Help us to overcome the enemy.
Be with us in our final throes!
When at last with death we struggle, show us that thou art our Mother and, O Mother, intercede for us with thy Son.

7 The Lord is my helper and my protector: in him hath my heart confided, and I have been helped. And my flesh hath flourished again, and with my will I will give praise to him.
In Deo sperávit cor meum, et adjútus sum: et reflóruit caro mea, et ex voluntáte mea confitébor illi
9 Honour the Lord with thy substance, and give him of the first of all thy fruits:
10 And thy barns shall be filled with abundance, and thy presses shall run over with wine.
Honóra Dóminum de tua substántia, et de primítiis frugum tuárum: et implebúntur hórrea tua saturitáte, et vino torculária redundábunt.
