Jesus carries His cross

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

Meditation: Consider Jesus as He walked this road with the cross on His shoulders, thinking of us, and offering to His Father on our behalf, the death He was about to suffer.

Prayer: My most beloved Jesus, I embrace all the sufferings You have destined for me until death. I beg You, by all You suffered in carrying Your cross, to help me carry mine with Your perfect peace and resignation. I love You, Jesus, my love; I repent of ever having offended You. Never let me separate myself from You again. 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) O, how sad and sore depressed Was that Mother highly blessed Of the sole Begotten One
