STATION 12: Jesus Dies on the Cross

V.  We adore You, O Christ, and we praise You (genuflect)

R.  Because, by Your holy Cross, You have redeemed the world.

Sorrowful Mysteries and Prayer before a Crucifix, painting by Murillo, stations of the Cross, way of the cross, station 12

Priest or Leader: Consider how Jesus, after three hours of agony on the Cross, is finally overwhelmed with suffering and, abandoning Himself to the weight of His body, bows His head and dies.

- kneel - moment of silence -

All:  My Dying Jesus, I devoutly kiss the cross on which You would die for love of me. I deserve, because of my sins, to die a terrible death; but Your death is my hope. By the merits of Your death, give me the grace to die embracing Your feet and burning with love of You. I yield my soul into Your hands, I love You with my whole heart, and I am sorry that I have offended You. Never let me offend You again. Grant that I may love You always, and then do with me as You will.

- moment of silence -
A painting of Jesus by Titian
Mater Dolorosa painting by Murillo

Let me mingle tears with thee,

Mourning Him who mourned for me,

All the days that I may live.
