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.
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 -
Let me mingle tears with thee,
Mourning Him who mourned for me,
All the days that I may live.
