The Way of the Cross
Eleventh Station
JESUS IS NAILED TO THE CROSS

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

    Consider that Jesus, after being thrown on the cross, extended His hands, and offered to His Eternal Father the sacrifice of His life for our salvation. These barbarians fastened Him with nails, and then, raising the cross, left Him to die with anguish on this infamous gibbet.

    My Jesus, loaded with contempt, nail my heart to Thy feet, that it may ever remain there, to love Thee and never quit Thee again. I love Thee more than myself; I repent of having offended Thee. Never permit me to offend Thee again. Grant that I may love Thee always, and then do with me what Thou wilt.

Pray the Our Father, a Hail Mary, and the Glory be.

Holy Mother, pierce me through!,
In my heart each wound renew,
Of my Saviour crucified.
