The Way of the Cross
Twelfth Station
JESUS DIES ON THE CROSSV: We adore Thee, O Christ, and we praise Thee.
R: Because by Thy holy cross Thou hast redeemed the world.Consider how thy Jesus, after three hours agony on the Cross, consumed at length with anguish, abandons Himself to the weight of His body, bows His head and died.
O my dying Jesus, I kiss devoutly the cross on which Thou didst die for love of me. I have merited by my sins to die a miserable death, but Thy death is my hope. Ah, by the merits of Thy death, give me grace to die, embracing Thy feet and burning with love of Thee. I commit my soul into Thy hands. I love Thee with my whole heart; I repent of ever 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.
Let me share with thee His pain,
Who for all our sins was slain.
Who for me in torments died.
