Jesus is made to bear His Cross
V. We adore Thee, O Christ, and we bless Thee.
R. Because by Thy holy Cross Thou hast redeemed the world.
A heavy cross is laid upon the bruised shoulders of Jesus. He receives it with meekness – nay, with a secret joy, for it is the instrument with which He is to redeem the world.
Prayer.
O Jesus, ever present in the Blessed Sacrament, grant us, by virtue of Thy Cross, to embrace with meekness and cheerful submission the difficulties of our state, and to be ever ready to take up our cross and follow 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.
Quis est homo qui non fleret,
matrem Christi si vidéret
in tanto supplício?
Is there one who would not weep,
Whelm’d in miseries so deep,
Christ’s dear Mother to behold?
