V. We adore Thee O Christ, and we praise Thee
R. Because by thy holy Cross thous hast redeemed the world.
For three hours, Jesus has hung upon His transfixed hands, His blood has
run in streams down His Body, and bedewed the ground; and in the midst of
excruciating sufferings, he has pardoned his murderers, promised the bliss of
paradise the good thief, and commited his Blessed Mother and beloved disciple
to each other's care. All is now consummated and meekly bowing down his head,
he gives up the Ghost.
PAUSE
V. O Jesus! we embrace devoutly that honoured cross whereon thou didst love
us even unto death, death on a cross. In that death we place all our confidence.
Henceforth, let us live only for Thee, and die to ourselves, so that when our
mortal bodies die, they die loving Thee, and in Thy sacred arms.
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.
