XIV: Jesus is laid in the tomb.

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

Meditation and Prayer

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

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

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

Stabat Mater
Virgin of all virgins blest!
Listen to my fond request:
Let me share your grief divine.
