Jesus Meets His Blessed Mother
V. We adore Thee, O
Christ, and we praise Thee.
R.
Because by Thy holy Cross, Thou hast redeemed the world.
How sad and how painful must it have been for Mary to behold
her beloved Son laden with the Cross, covered with wounds and blood, and
driven through the streets by savage executioners! What unspeakable pangs
her most tender heart must have experienced! How earnestly did she desire
to die instead of Jesus, or at least with Him!
O Jesus, * O Mary, * I am the cause of the pains that pierced
your hearts. * Would that my heart might experience some of your sufferings.
* O Mother, * let me share in thy sufferings and those of they Son, * that I
may obtain the grace of a happy death.
Our Father, Hail Mary, Glory be.
V. Lord Jesus, crucified.
R.
Have mercy on us. Is there one who would not weep, Whelmed in miseries
so deep, Christ’s dear Mother to behold?
