THE STATIONS OF THE CROSS

Jesus is laid in the Sepulchre.

V. We adore Thee, O Christ, and we praise Thee,
R. Because by Thy Holy Cross Thou hast redeemed the world.

Consider that the disciples carried the Body of Jesus to bury It,
accompanied by His Holy Mother, who arranged It in the Sepulchre
with her own hands. Then they closed the tomb and all withdrew.

Ah, my buried Jesus, I kiss the stone that encloses Thee. But Thou didst rise
again the Third Day. I beseech Thee by Thy Resurrection, make me rise
glorious with Thee at the Last Day, to be always united with Thee in
Heaven, to praise Thee and love Thee forever.
I love Thee, my beloved Jesus; I love Thee more than myself; I repent
with my whole heart of having offended Thee. Never permit me to
separate myself from Thee again. Grant that I may love Thee always,
and then do with me what Thou wilt.

Our Father, Hail Mary, Glory Be.

CONCLUDE WITH:
PRAYER TO JESUS CRUCIFIED

Behold O kind and most sweet Jesus, I cast myself upon my knees in Thy
sight, and with the most fervent desire of my soul, I pray and beseech Thee
that Thou wouldst impress my heart lively sentiments of faith, hope, and
charity, with true contrition for my sins and a firm purpose of amendment;
while with deep affection and grief of soul, I ponder within myself and
mentally contemplate Thy Five Wounds, having before my eyes the words
which David the Prophet put on Thy lips concerning Thee:
"They have pierced My hands and My feet, they have numbered all My bones."

One Our Father and one Hail Mary, at least, should be said for the Roman
Pontiff's intentions if one is seeking to gain an Indulgence.
