V. We adore Thee O Christ, and we praise Thee
R. Because by thy holy Cross thous hast redeemed the world.
As the strength of Jesus fails and he is unable to proceed, the executioners
seize and compel SImon of Cyrene to carry his cross. The virtue of that cross
changed his heart and from a compulsory task, it became a privilege and a joy.
V. O Jesus! may it be a privilege also to bear Thy cross; may we glory in
nothing else; by it may the world be crucified unto us, and we unto the world.
May we never shrink from our sufferings, but rather rejoice if we may be counted worthy
to suffer for Thy names sake.
R. I love you Jesus, my love above all things, and I repent with my whole
heart at having ever offended you. Never permit me to separate myself from you
again. Grant that I may love you always and then do with me what you will.
Our Father, who art in heaven, hallowed be Thy name. Thy kingdome come, Thy
will be done on earth, as it is in heaven. Give us this day our daily bread, and
forgive us our tresspasses as we forgive those who trespass against us, and lead
us not into temptation, but deliver us from evil. Amen.
Hail Mary, full of grace, the Lord is with you. Blessed are you amongst women,
and blessed is the fruit of thy womb - Jesus. Holy Mary, Mother of God, pray
for us sinners now, and at the hour of our death. Amen.
Glory be to the Father, and to the Son, and to the Holy Spirit, as it was in the
beginning, is now and ever shall be world without end. Amen.
V. May the souls of the faithful departed, through the mercy of God, rest in
peace.
R. Amen.
