Station XII — Jesus Dies on the Cross

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

R). Quia per sanctam crucem tuam redemisti mundum.

Consider how your Jesus, after three hours of agony on the cross, at last consumed by suffering, abandons himself bodily, bows his head, and dies. — O my dead Jesus, with tender love I kiss this cross upon which you died for me. By my sins I have deserved to die a wretched death; but your death is my hope. By the merits of your death, grant me the grace to die embracing your feet and burning with love for you. Into your hands I commend my soul. I love you with all my heart. 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.
