Jesus dies on the Cross

V. We adore Thee, O Christ, and we bless Thee.
R. Because by Thy holy Cross Thou hast redeemed the world.

For three hours has Jesus hung upon His transfixed hands; His blood has run in streams down His body and bedewed the ground; and, in the midst of excruciating sufferings, He has pardoned His murderers, promised the bliss of Paradise to the good thief, and committed His Blessed Mother and Beloved Disciple to each other’s care. All is now consummated; and meekly bowing down His head, He gives up the ghost. (A Short Pause.)

Prayer.

O Jesus, ever present in the Blessed Sacrament, we devoutly embrace that honoured Cross where Thou didst love us even unto death. In that death we place all our confidence. Henceforth let us live only for Thee; and in dying for Thee, let us die loving Thee, and in Thy sacred arms.

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.

Glory be to the Father
and to the Son
and to the Holy Spirit,
as it was in the beginning
is now, and ever shall be
world without end. 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.
