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

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

Consider

Consider how the disciples carried the body of Jesus to bury it, accompanied by His holy Mother, who arranged it in the sepulchre with her own hands. They then closed the tomb, and all withdrew.

Prayer

Oh, my buried Jesus, I kiss the stone that encloses You. But You did rise again the third day. I beseech You, by Your Resurrection, make me rise glorious with You at the last day, to be ever united with You in heaven, to praise and love You forever. I love You, and 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

Quando corpus morietur, Fac ut animae donetur Paradisi gloria. Amen.

When my body here decayeth, Let my soul, Thy goodness stayeth, Dwell forever in Thy love. Amen.
