Jesus dies on the cross
We adore You, O Christ, and we bless You,
because by Your holy Cross, You have redeemed the world.
As Jesus hung on the cross, he forgave the soldiers who had crucified him, and prayed for his mother and friends. Jesus wanted all of us to be able to live forever with God, so he gave all he had for us.
'And I, if I be lifted up from the earth, will draw all things to Myself.' (John 12:32). 'Father, into Your hands I commend My spirit.' (Luke 23:46)
'He humbled Himself, becoming obedient to death, even to death on a cross. Therefore God also has exalted Him.' (Phil 2:8-9)
O my dying Jesus, I kiss devoutly the Cross on which You died for love of me. I have merited by my sins to die a miserable death; but Your death is my hope. By the merits of Your death, give me grace to die, embracing Your feet, and burning with love for You. I yield my soul into Your hands. I love You with my whole heart; I repent of having offended You. Never permit me to offend You again. Grant that I may love you always; and then do with me what You will.
Our Father... Hail Mary... Glory Be...
Lord Jesus, crucified. Have mercy on us.
