Jesus is nailed to the Cross
V. We adore Thee, O Christ, and we bless Thee.
R. Because by Thy holy Cross Thou hast redeemed the world.
The Cross is laid upon the ground and Jesus is stretched upon His bed of death. At one and the same time He offers His bruised limbs to His heavenly Father on behalf of sinful man, and to His fierce executioners to be nailed by them to the disgraceful wood. The blows are struck! the blood gushes forth!
Prayer.
O Jesus, ever present in the Blessed Sacrament, and once for all nailed to the Cross on Calvary, fasten our hearts there also, that they may be united to Thee until death shall strike us with its fatal blow, and with our last breath we shall have yielded up our souls to Thee.
An Act of Contrition.
O God, we love Thee with our whole hearts and above all things, and are heartily sorry that we have offended Thee. May we never offend Thee any more. Oh, may we love Thee without ceasing, and make it our delight to do in all things Thy most Holy Will.
Hail, Mary, full of grace,
the Lord is with thee.
Blessed art thou amongst women
and blessed is the fruit of thy womb, Jesus.
Holy Mary, Mother of God,
pray for us sinners,
now and at the hour of our death.
Amen.
V. Blessed and praised every moment.
R. Be the Most Holy and Divine Sacrament.
V. Have mercy on us, O Lord.
R. Have mercy on us.
V. May the souls of the faithful departed, through the mercy of God, rest in peace.
R. Amen.
Juxta Crucem tecum stare,
Et me tibi sociáre
In planctu desídero.
By the Cross with thee to stay;
There with thee to weep and pray;
Is all I ask of thee to give.
