We adore You, O Christ, and we praise You.
Because, by Your holy cross, You have redeemed the world.

Meditation and Prayer

Consider how Jesus Christ, after being scourged and crowned with thorns, was unjustly condemned by Pilate to die on the cross.

My Jesus, it was not Pilate, it was my sins that condemned You to die. I beg You, by the merits of this sorrowful journey, to assist my soul in its journey toward eternity. I love You, my beloved Jesus; I love You more than myself; I repent with my whole heart for 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.

The Lord's Prayer ...
The Hail Mary ...
The Glory Be ...

Stabat Mater
Through her heart, His sorrow sharing
All His bitter anguish bearing
Now at length the sword has passed
