(Genuflecting) We adore You, 0 Christ, and we praise You. Because by Your holy Cross You have redeemed the world. Consider how Jesus, after having been scourged and crowned with thorns, was unjustly condemned by Pilate to die on the Cross. (Pause for silent prayer.) My loving Jesus, it was not Pilate; no, it was my sins that condemned You to die. I beseech You, by the merits of this sorrowful journey, to assist my soul in her journey towards eternity. I love You, my beloved Jesus; I love You more than myself, I repent with my whole heart of having offended You. Never permit me to separate myself from you again. Grant that I may love You always; and then do with me what You will. Our Father .... , Hail Mary ... , Glory be to the Father ... 0 Jesus! Who for love of me, Didst bear Thy Cross to Calvary; In Thy sweet mercy grant to me, To suffer and to die with Thee. At the Cross her station keeping, Stood the mournful Mother weeping, Close to Jesus to the last. _________ |
