V. We adore Thee, O Christ, and we bless Thee.
R. Because by Thy Holy Cross, Thou hast redeemed the world.
Consider this first fall of Jesus under His Cross. His flesh was
torn by the scourges, His head crowned with thorns, and He had lost
a great quantity of blood. He was so weakened that He could scarcely
walk, and yet He had to carry this great load upon His shoulders. The
soldiers struck Him rudely, and thus He fell several times in His journey.
LET US PRAY
My beloved Jesus, it is not the weight of the Cross, but my sins,
which have made You suffer so much pain. Ah, by the merits of this
first fall, deliver me from the misfortune of falling into mortal sin.
I love You, O my Jesus, with my whole heart; I repent of having offended
You. Never permit me to offend You again. Grant that I may love You
always; and then do with me what You will.
Jesus Christ, Son of the Living God, have mercy on us.
Immaculate Heart of Mary, pray for us now and at the hour of our death. Amen.
Dear Jesus, by the merits of your passion and cross, we present to you all our petitions.
Our Father, Hail Mary, Glory Be
