Jesus is taken down from the cross
We adore You, O Christ, and we bless You,
because by Your holy Cross, You have redeemed the world.
Jesus, how brutally you were put to death. How gently your are taken from the cross. Your suffering and pain are ended, and you are put in the lap of your mother. The dirt and blood are wiped away. You are treated with love.
'Did not the Christ have to suffer those things before entering into His glory?' (Luke 24:26). 'Those who love Your law have great peace.'(Psalm 119:165)
'In this has the love of God been shown in our case, that God has sent His only-begotten Son into the world as a propitiation from sins.'(1 John 4:9-10)
O mother of sorrow, for the love of this Son, accept me for your servant, and pray to Him for me. And You, my Redeemer, since You have died for me, permit me to love You; for I wish only You, and nothing more. I love You, my Jesus, and I repent of ever 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.
