XII – Jesus Dies on the Cross

After suffering greatly on the cross, Jesus bows his head and dies.

FATHER: We adore You, O Christ, and we praise You. (Genuflect)

RESPONSE: Because, by Your holy cross, You have redeemed the world. (Rise)

FATHER: Consider how Your Jesus, after three hours of agony on the cross, is finally overwhelmed with suffering and, abandoning Himself to the weight of His body, bows His head and dies. (Kneel)

RESPONSE: My dying Jesus, / I devoutly kiss the cross on which You would die for love of me. / I deserve, because of my sins, to die a terrible death; / but Your death is my hope. / By the merits of Your death, / give me the grace to die embracing Your feet and burning with love of You. / I yield my soul into Your hands. / I love You with my whole heart. / I am sorry that I have offended You. / Never let me offend You again. / Grant that I may love You always; and then do with me as You will.

(Our Father, Hail Mary, Glory be.)

 

Let me mingle tears with thee 

Mourning Him who mourned for me, 

All the days that I may live.
