Adoramus te
Adoramus te (Latin, "We adore Thee") is a stanza recited or sung mostly during the ritual of the Stations of the Cross. It is recited or sung between stations.
Though primarily a Catholic tradition, it is also practised in some confessional Anglican and Lutheran denominations during Good Friday liturgies, although recited generally in the vernacular.
