Its title comes from its first line in Latin “Stabat Mater dolorosa” (roughly translated “the sorrowful mother stood”).</span></p><p style="line-height: 24px; margin: 10px 0px; padding: 0px;"><span style="color: #2b00fe;">A Franciscan friar named Jacopone da Todi is said to have written the original text of the <i>Stabat Mater</i> in the 13th century, although some scholars have attributed it to Pope Innocent III, among others.</span></p><p style="line-height: 24px; margin: 10px 0px; padding: 0px;"><span style="color: #2b00fe;">There are over 60 English translations of the<i> Stabat Mater</i>. It has been so popular that numerous composers including Bach, Vivaldi, Haydn, Schubert, and Verdi have set the original Latin text to music.</span></p><p style="line-height: 24px; margin: 10px 0px; padding: 0px;"><span style="color: #2b00fe;">The<i> Stabat Mater</i> was used frequently in the Liturgy for centuries before it became a sequence (a hymn spoken or sung before the Gospel) in 1727 for the feast of the Seven Sorrows [or Dolors] of the Blessed Virgin Mary on September 15th. Its use as a sequence is optional now on that feast day (now called the feast for Our Lady of Sorrows), but the hymn is often prayed with the Stations of the Cross at Lent.</span></p><p style="line-height: 24px; margin: 10px 0px; padding: 0px;"><span style="color: #2b00fe;">The <i>Stabat Mater</i> brings to mind front and center just how fully our Blessed Mother suffered along with Jesus, like Him on our behalf! St Alphonsus Liguori once wrote that “two hung upon one cross.”</span></p><p style="line-height: 24px; margin: 10px 0px; padding: 0px;"><span style="color: #2b00fe;">While she wasn’t crucified, of course, her heartbreak was just as intense! After all, as we read in the seventh stanza of the twenty that comprise the <i>Stabat Mater</i> she saw her beloved Son “bruised, derided, cursed, defiled…all with bloody scourges rent.”</span></p><p style="line-height: 24px; margin: 10px 0px; padding: 0px;"><span style="color: #2b00fe;">Imagine seeing a loved one, a very special loved one, in fact, undergoing such physical and emotional agony. Now add to that the thought that you can’t do anything to help that person, who’s suffering all the more to see your anguish!</span></p><p style="line-height: 24px; margin: 10px 0px; padding: 0px;"><span style="color: #2b00fe;">Is it any wonder that we have devotions and prayers to our Blessed Mother as Our Lady of Sorrows? St Bonaventure wrote of Mary’s sorrow at her Son’s death that “no grief was more bitter than hers, because no son was as dear as her Son.”</span></p><p style="line-height: 24px; margin: 10px 0px; padding: 0px;"><span style="color: #2b00fe;">From what tradition tells us, the Blessed Mother had a strong sense of what was coming way before Christ’s Passion. When she presented her little baby Jesus in the Temple, fulfilling Mosaic law, a “just and devout” (Lk 2:25) man named Simeon, enlightened by the Holy Spirit, foretold both our Lord’s greatness, saying He would be “a light of revelation to the Gentiles and a glory for thy people, Israel,” calling Him “a sign that shall be contradicted” (Lk 2:32 and 34).</span></p><p style="line-height: 24px; margin: 10px 0px; padding: 0px;"><span style="color: #2b00fe;">He told Mary that she would suffer along with her Son as well, saying that “thy own soul a sword shall pierce” (Lk 2:35). Her wounds would be figurative but just as painful! St Bernard once noted that “Love inflicted on the heart of Mary the same tortures caused by the nails in the body of Jesus.”</span></p><p style="line-height: 24px; margin: 10px 0px; padding: 0px;"><span style="color: #2b00fe;">When the Blessed Mother experienced, along with her Son, such an intense, bitter martyrdom of love that awful day at Calvary, could anyone present there have imagined that anything good would come out of it? Yet something quite wonderful<i> did </i>occur! Christ, in His death and resurrection, paved the road for our salvation and “life everlasting” with Him in Heaven.</span></p><p style="line-height: 24px; margin: 10px 0px; padding: 0px;"><span style="color: #2b00fe;">When we offer up our sorrows to Jesus on the Cross, bearing our own cross with patience, and truly seek to follow in His footsteps in our daily lives, we say to both Him and His Blessed Mother, “your efforts on my behalf weren’t in vain!”</span></p></td></tr></tbody></table></td></tr></tbody></table></td></tr></tbody></table></td></tr></tbody></table></center></div></blockquote><p> </p><blockquote style="font-family: Helvetica; font-size: 12px;" type="cite"><div dir="ltr"><center><table align="center" border="0" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" id="bodyTable" style="background-color: white; border-collapse: collapse; height: 100%px; margin: 0px; padding: 0px; width: 100%px;"><tbody><tr><td align="center" id="bodyCell" style="border-top-width: 0px; height: 4431px; margin: 0px; padding: 10px; width: 600px;" valign="top"><br /></td></tr></tbody></table></center></div></blockquote><p><br /></p><p> </p><p style="text-align: left;"><br /></p><p style="text-align: left;"><br /></p>Elainehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/17553341002553188224noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4616726889506056090.post-33321209929660297402021-06-01T15:33:00.000+01:002021-06-01T15:33:09.945+01:00External Solemnity of Corpus Christi - 7th June 1pm<p style="text-align: center;"><u> External Solemnity of Corpus Christi - 7th June 1pm</u></p><p style="text-align: center;"><br /></p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhAzsm8otj6SgLrSIHbNVezjUCbRRB0spIjgP6gD4UIqZTe4kUpi6Pou5qLOZ-BXzKeYs3b4Rgmw8hM6DtkFr9SwRqA1el35shJstXUjzjqOeI_UuFEyi3mRqPnh9Txh7RYtQwUzK7odUI/s231/Corpus.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="231" data-original-width="218" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhAzsm8otj6SgLrSIHbNVezjUCbRRB0spIjgP6gD4UIqZTe4kUpi6Pou5qLOZ-BXzKeYs3b4Rgmw8hM6DtkFr9SwRqA1el35shJstXUjzjqOeI_UuFEyi3mRqPnh9Txh7RYtQwUzK7odUI/s0/Corpus.jpg" /></a></div><br /><p style="text-align: center;"><span style="text-align: left;">Holy Mass will be celebrated in the Extraordinary Form on Sunday 7th June , for Corpus Christi at 1 p.m., Sacred heart Morriston. </span></p><p style="text-align: left;">There will be sufficient seats to accommodate everybody we know about, but if you are coming for the very first time, please contact us on 07702 230983 so that we can note down your details for contact tracing purposes. </p><p style="text-align: left;"><br /></p><p style="text-align: left;">Please follow <a href="https://maternalheart.org/propers/Sundays%20after%20Pentecost/Pentecost%201%20-%20Thursday%20-%20Corpus%20Christi/corpuschristi.pdf">this link</a> for the propers of the Mass which can be downloaded and printed at home.</p><p style="text-align: left;"><br /></p><p style="text-align: center;"><span style="color: #2b00fe;">Dear Supporters of the Traditional Mass in our diocese, </span> </p><p style="text-align: left;">Over the last few days, many may have heard in the Catholic Press about discussions taking place in Rome whereby the Motu Proprio , Summorum Pontificum promulgated by Emeritus Pope Benedict XVI could be rescinded and the Traditional Mass once more suspended. </p><p style="text-align: left;">It is currently unknown whether such action is likely, it would have a large impact not only on ourselves but on the church worldwide, but it is a measure that i do not believe we, as supporters of the traditional Mass want to see.</p><p style="text-align: left;">The most important thing we can do individually and as the Catholic Faithful is to continue to pray for our priests and the continuation of the Traditional Mass in our Diocese and to fully support the Holy Mass in the Extraordinary Form wherever possible so that this gives a strong mandate for the continuation of its presence here in the Diocese of Menevia. </p><p style="text-align: left;">If there are people we know who might like to come to the Holy Mass, let us invite them to come along as well.

Many thanks for your understanding</span></span></p><p style="text-align: center;"><span style="color: red;"><span style="caret-color: rgb(230, 145, 56);"><br /></span></span></p><p style="text-align: center;"><span style="color: red;"><span style="caret-color: rgb(230, 145, 56);"><br /></span></span></p><p style="text-align: left;"><span style="color: #2b00fe;"><span style="caret-color: rgb(230, 145, 56);"><br /></span></span></p><p style="text-align: left;"><span style="color: #2b00fe;"><span style="caret-color: rgb(230, 145, 56);"><br /></span></span></p><p style="text-align: center;"><span style="color: #2b00fe;"><span style="caret-color: rgb(230, 145, 56);"><br /></span></span></p><p style="text-align: center;"><span style="color: #e69138;"><br /></span></p><p style="text-align: center;"><span style="color: #e69138;"><br /></span></p><p style="text-align: center;"><span style="color: #e69138;"><br /></span></p><p style="text-align: center;"><span style="color: #e69138;"><br /></span></p><p style="text-align: center;"><span style="color: #e69138;"><br /></span></p><div><span style="color: #e69138;"><br /></span></div>Elainehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/17553341002553188224noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4616726889506056090.post-5476319681284030412021-02-20T11:29:00.004+00:002021-02-20T12:18:15.022+00:00Season of Lent<p style="text-align: center;"><span style="color: #2b00fe;"><u> Season of Lent 2021</u></span></p><p style="text-align: center;"><span style="color: #2b00fe;"><br /></span></p><p style="text-align: center;"><span style="color: #2b00fe;"><br /></span></p><p style="text-align: center;"></p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhMiNGUT-JzJlRuEgYoi-ekJTkdt8T_a6E2uxJ6zRYg7h8SzGCUKVUvglwvsRY3kL4AUIDNTM1IWGNZT3CtR_H8efY2xVNd0FHJaeR9SzJG1RzjdzAWdPhSGFpD9QIGz1doP-wFTDt99FY/s1088/219997937_orig.jpg" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="694" data-original-width="1088" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhMiNGUT-JzJlRuEgYoi-ekJTkdt8T_a6E2uxJ6zRYg7h8SzGCUKVUvglwvsRY3kL4AUIDNTM1IWGNZT3CtR_H8efY2xVNd0FHJaeR9SzJG1RzjdzAWdPhSGFpD9QIGz1doP-wFTDt99FY/s320/219997937_orig.jpg" width="320" /></a></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><span style="color: #2b00fe;">J</span><i><span style="color: #2b00fe;">esus was led by the spirit into the desert to be tempted by the devil</span></i></div><br /><span style="color: #2b00fe;"><br /></span><p></p><p style="text-align: center;"><span style="color: #2b00fe;"><br /></span></p><p style="text-align: left;"><span>P</span>lease see the following times of Holy Mass in the Extraordinary Form during Lent 2021</p><p style="text-align: left;"><span style="color: #2b00fe;"><br /></span></p><p style="text-align: left;"><span style="color: #2b00fe;">1st Sunday of Lent Sunday 21st February , 4 p.m. Sacred Heart Morriston</span></p><p style="text-align: left;"><span style="color: #2b00fe;">2nd Sunday of Lent - Sunday 28th February . 4 p.m. St. David and St Patrick, Haverfordwest</span></p><p style="text-align: left;"><span style="color: #2b00fe;">3rd Sunday of lent - Sunday 7th March 4 p.m. Sacred Heart <span style="caret-color: rgb(43, 0, 254);">Morriston</span></span></p><p style="text-align: left;"><span style="color: #2b00fe;"><span style="caret-color: rgb(43, 0, 254);">4th Sunday of Lent - Sunday 14th March 6 p.m. St Therese , Sandfields, Port Talbot</span></span></p><p style="text-align: left;"><span style="color: #2b00fe;"><span style="caret-color: rgb(43, 0, 254);"><br /></span></span></p><p style="text-align: center;"><span style="color: #e69138;"><b>Please always check for any last minute alterations and cancellations by visiting the website</b> , especially at this time of the coronavirus pandemic.
