EIGHTH STATION
Jesus Speaks to the Daughters of Jerusalem
V. We adore Thee, O Christ, and we praise Thee.
R. Because by Thy holy cross Thou hast redeemed the world.
Consider that those women wept with compassion at seeing
Jesus in so pitiable a state, streaming with blood, as He
walked along. But Jesus said to them, "Weep not for Me but
for your children."
My Jesus, laden with sorrows, I weep for the offenses that I
have committed against Thee, because of the pains which they
have deserved, and still more because of the displeasure
which they have caused Thee, Who hast loved me so much. It
is Thy love, more than the fear of hell, which causes me to
weep for my sins. My Jesus, 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.
Our Father, Hail Mary, Glory be to the Father
O Thou Mother! fount of love,
Touch my spirit from above.
Make my heart with thine accord. |
