V.
We adore Thee, O Christ, and praise Thee: R. Because by Thy holy Cross Thou hast redeemed the world! O LORD, Jesus! Thy lifeless Body, mangled and lacerated, found a worthy resting-place on the bosom of Thy virgin Mother. Have I not often compelled Thee to dwell in my heart, despite its unworthiness to receive Thee? Create in me a new heart, that I may worthily receive Thy most Sacred Body in Holy Communion, and that Thou mayest remain in me and I in Thee, for all eternity. Our Father, etc.; Hail Mary, etc. V. Lord Jesus, crucified: R. Have mercy on us! |
