At the sight of the sufferings of Jesus some holy women in the crowd were
so touched with sympthy and grief that they openly bewailed and lamented Him.
Jesus knowing the things that were to come to pass upon Jerusalem because of
its rejection of Him, turned to them and said 'Daughters of Jerusalem, weep
not for me but for yourselves and for your children'.
V. O Lord Jesus, we mourn and will always mourn, both for Thee and for
ourselves; for Thy sufferings and for our sins which caused them. Oh teach us
so to mourn, that we may be comforted and escape those dreadful judgments
prepared for all who reject or neglect Thee in this life.
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.
