V. We adore Thee, O Christ, and we bless Thee.
R. Because by Thy Holy Cross, Thou hast redeemed the world.
Consider the third fall of Jesus Christ. His weakness was
extreme, and the cruelty of His executioners excessive, who tried
to hasten His steps when He had scarcely the strength to move.
LET US PRAY
Ah, my outraged Jesus, by the merits of the weakness You
did suffer in going to Calvary, give me strength sufficient to conquer
all human respect, and all my wicked passions, which have led me to
despise Your friendship. I love You, Jesus my love, 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
