Jesus Carries His Cross
V.
We adore Thee, O Christ, and we praise Thee.
R.
Because by Thy holy Cross, Thou hast redeemed the world.
When our divine Redeemer beheld the Cross, He most willingly
reached out to it with His bleeding arms. He embraced it lovingly, kissed
it tenderly, took it on His bruised shoulders, and, exhausted as He was, He
carried it joyfully.
O my Jesus, * I can not be Thy friend and follower * if I
refuse to carry my cross. * O beloved cross, * I embrace Thee, * I kiss
Thee, * I joyfully accept Thee from the hand of my God. * Far be it from me
to glory in anything * save in the Cross of my Lord and Redeemer. * By it
the world shall be crucified to me, * and I to the world, * that I may be
Thine forever.
Our Father, Hail Mary, Glory be. \
V. Lord Jesus,
crucified.
R. Have mercy on us.
O, how sad and sore distressed
Was that Mother, highly blest,
Of the sole begotten One!
