Translation of the meaning
Lord of mercy, Lord of forgiveness,
by your forgiveness you raised the dignity of man, of man.
Lord of forgiveness.
You said: if someone strikes your cheek, offer him the other cheek;
do not take revenge on him or push him away from you.
Even if he is your enemy, love your enemy;
you hold no grudge and no hatred: how great is your majesty!
Your sky is forgiveness, your horizon is faith. Lord of mercy, Lord of forgiveness,
by your forgiveness you raised the dignity of man.
You were not content with a word: you were the deed itself,
and to redeem those you love, you gave up your life.
Your body is their food, and their drink comes from your blood: how great is your love,
O Beloved of your Mother!
Your cross is a sign and your suffering a message. Lord of mercy, Lord of forgiveness,
by your forgiveness you raised the dignity of man.
