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

Meditation and Prayer

Consider how those women wept with compassion at seeing Jesus in such a pitiable state, streaming with blood, as He walked along. But Jesus said to them: Weep not for Me, but for your children.

My Jesus, laden with sorrows, I weep for the offenses I have committed against You, because of the pains they have deserved, and still more because of the displeasure they have caused You, Who have loved me so much. It is Your love, more than the fear of hell, which causes me to weep for my sins. My Jesus, 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.

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

Stabat Mater
O sweet Mother! Fount of Love,
Touch my spirit from above
Make my heart with yours accord.
