Station XI — Jesus Is Nailed to the Cross

V). Adoramus te, Christe, et benedicimus tibi.

R). Quia per sanctam crucem tuam redemisti mundum.

Consider how Jesus, being cast upon the cross, stretches out his hands and offers to the Eternal Father the sacrifice of his life for our salvation. Those barbarians nail him down, and then, raising the cross, they leave him to die in agony upon that infamous scaffold. — My despised Jesus, nail my heart to your feet, so that it may remain there forever to love you and never leave you again. I love you more than myself; I repent of having offended you. Do not permit me to offend you again. Grant that I may always love you, and then do with me as you will.

Our Father, Hail Mary, Glory Be. Dear Jesus, etc.
