Jesus meets the women of Jerusalem
We adore You, O Christ, and we bless You,
because by Your holy Cross, You have redeemed the world.
Jesus, as you carry your cross you see a group of women along the road. As you pass by you see they are sad. You stop to spend a moment with them, to offer them some encouragement. Although you are have been abandoned by your friends and are in pain, you stop and try to help them.
'Daughters of Jerusalem, do not weep for me; weep instead for yourselves and for your children.'(Luke 23:28). 'Anyone who does not remain in Me will be thrown out like a branch and wither.'(John 15:6).
My Jesus, laden with sorrows, I weep for the offenses I have committed against You, because of the pains they have deserved, and still more because of the displeasure they have caused You, Who have loved me so much. It is Your love, more than the fear of hell, which causes me to weep for my sins. My Jesus, I love You more than myself; I repent of having offended You. Never permit me to offend You again; and then do with me what You will.
Our Father... Hail Mary... Glory Be...
Lord Jesus, crucified. Have mercy on us.
