Jesus is nailed to the cross- STATION XI

STATION XI



Jesus is nailed to the cross

We adore You, O Christ, and we bless You,
because by Your holy Cross, You have redeemed the world.

You are stretched out on the cross you have carried so far. The soldiers take big nails and drive them into your hands and feet. You feel abandoned by the people you loved so much. People seem to have gone mad. You have done nothing but good, yet they drive nails through your hands and feet.

'They have pierced My hands and My feet; I can count all My bones.' (Psalm 22:17-18). 'Father, forgive them, for they do not know what they are doing.'(Luke 23:34)
'I have come down from heaven, not to do My will, but the will of Him Who sent Me.' (John 6:38)

My Jesus! loaded with contempt, nail my heart to Your feet, that it may ever remain there, to love You, and never leave You again. I love You more than myself; 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.
