The Way of the Cross
STATION 13: Jesus is Taken Down from the Cross
We adore You, O Christ, and we praise You (or: We adore You, O Christ, and we bless You.)
BECAUSE BY YOUR HOLY CROSS, YOU HAVE REDEEMED THE WORLD.
A Reading from the Gospel According to Luke
(Luke 23: 50-53a)
Now there was a man named Joseph from the Jewish town of Arimathea. He was a member of the council, a good and righteous man, who had not consented to their purpose and deed, and he was looking for the kingdom of God. This man went to Pilate and asked for the body of Jesus. Then he took it down and wrapped it in a linen shroud.
- moment of silence -
V. Lord Jesus, Crucified.
R. HAVE MERCY ON US.
Stabat Mater
By the Cross with thee to stay,
There, with thee to weep and pray,
Is all I ask of thee to give.
