| FOURTH STATION Jesus Meets His Afflicted Mother |
 |
| (Genuflecting) We adore You, 0 Christ, and we praise You. Because by Your holy Cross You have redeemed the world. Consider the meeting of the Son and the Mother, which took place on this journey. Their looks became like so many arrows to wound those hearts which loved each other so tenderly. (Pause for silent prayer.) My sweet Jesus, by the sorrow You experienced in this meeting, grant me the grace of a truly devoted love for Your most holy Mother. And, you, my Queen, who were overwhelmed with sorrow, obtain for me, by your intercession, a continual and tender remembrance of the passion of your Son. I love You, Jesus, my love, above all things; I repent of ever having offended You. Never permit me to 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... Christ above in torment hangs; She beneath beholds the pangs Of her dying glorious Son. __________ |
