As Jesus proceeds on the way covered with the sweat of death, a woman, moved
with compassion, makes her way through the crowd, and wipes His face with a
towel upon which, as a reward of her piety, the impression of His sacred
countenance is miraculously imprinted.
V. O Jesus! may the contemplation of Thy sufferings move us with the deepest
compassion, make us to hate our sins, and kindle in our hearts more fervent love
to Thee. May Thy image be engraven on our minds and hearts until we are
transformed into Thy likeness.
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.

beginning, is now and ever shall be world without end. Amen.
