Jesus is Condemned to Death

℣. We adore you, Christ, and we praise you. ℟. Because by your holy Cross, you have redeemed the world.

Meditation: Consider how Jesus Christ, after being scourged and crowned with thorns, was unjustly condemned by Pilate to die on the cross.

Prayer: My adorable Jesus, it was not Pilate; no, it was my sins that condemned You to die. I beseech You, by the merits of this sorrowful journey, to assist my soul on its journey to eternity. I love You, beloved Jesus; I love You more than I love myself. With all my heart I repent of ever having offended You. Grant that I may love You always; and then do with me as You will.

Our Father ... Hail Mary ... Glory Be

Dear Jesus, Thou dost go to die For very love of me: Ah! let me bear Thee company; I wish to die with Thee. ℣. Have mercy on us, O Lord. ℟. Have mercy on us.

Hymn (Tune: Stabat Mater) Through her heart, His sorrow sharing All His bitter anguish bearing Now at length the sword has passed
