V. We adore Thee, O Christ, and we praise Thee.
R. Because by Thy holy cross Thou hast redeemed the world. Consider, that Jesus, after having been scourged and crowned with
thorns, was unjustly condemned by Pilate to die on the cross. My adorable Jesus, it was not Pilate, no, it was my sins, that
condemned Thee to die. I beseech Thee, by the merits of this sorrowful
journey, to assist my soul in its journey toward eternity. I love
Thee, my beloved Jesus; I love Thee more than myself; I repent
with my whole heart of having offended Thee. Never permit me to
separate myself from Thee again. Grant that I may love Thee always;
and then do with me what Thou wilt. |
