Thirteenth Station
Jesus Is Taken Down From the Cross
V.
We adore Thee, O Christ, and we praise Thee.
R.
Because by Thy holy Cross, Thou hast redeemed the world.
Jesus did not descend from the Cross, but remained on it till His death.
When taken down, He rested on the bosom of His beloved Mother as He had so
often done in life. Persevere in your good resolutions, and do not flee
from the cross. For he who perseveres till the end shall be saved.
Consider, moreover, how pure the heart should be that receives the body and
blood of Jesus Christ in the adorable Sacrament of the Altar.
O Lord Jesus crucified! * I most earnestly entreat Thee: * Help me do what
is right * and let me not be separated from Thy Cross, * for on it I desire
to live and to die. * Create in me, O Lord, a clean heart, * that I may
worthily receive Thee in Holy Communion, and that Thou mayest remain in me,
* and I in Thee, * for all eternity.
Our Father, Hail Mary, Glory be.
V.
Lord Jesus, crucified.
R.
Have mercy on us.
By the cross with thee to stay;
There with thee to weep and pray
Is all I ask of thee to give.
