V.We adore You, O Christ, and we bless You.

R.Because by Your holy Cross You have redeemed the world.

Consider

Consider how Jesus, after being thrown on the Cross, extended His hands, and offered to His Eternal Father the sacrifice of His life for our salvation. These barbarians fastened Him with nails, and then, raising the Cross, allowed Him to die with anguish on this infamous gibbet.

Prayer

My Jesus! loaded with contempt, nail my heart to Your feet, that it may ever remain there, to love You and never quit You again. I love You more than myself; I repent of 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.

Stabat Mater

Iuxta crucem tecum stare, Et me tibi sociare In planctu desidero.

Let me mingle tears with thee, Mourning Him who mourned for me, All the days that I may live.
