| TWELFTH STATION Jesus Dies on the Cross |
| (Genuflecting) We adore you, 0 Christ, and we praise You. Because by Your holy Cross You have redeemed the world. Consider how Jesus, after three hours of agony on the Cross, being consumed with anguish, abandoned Himself to the weight of His body, bowed His head and died. (Pause for silent prayer.) 0 my dying Jesus! I kiss devoutly the Cross on which You died for love of me. I have merited by my sins to die a miserable death, but Your death is my hope. By the merits of Your death, give me grace to die embracing Your feet and burning with love for You. I commit my soul into Your hands. I love you, 0 Jesus, above all things; I repent of ever having offended You. Permit not that I ever offend 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 ... Let me share with thee His pain Who for all my sins was slain, Who for me in torments died __________ |
