Jesus is met by his blessed Mother
Meditation
I adore Thee O Christ
and I bless Thee
Because by Thy holy Cross
Thou hast redeemed the world
As Jesus proceeds on his way he is met by his Mother. What a meeting must that have been! What a sword of anguish must have pierced that Mother's bosom! What must have been the compassion of that Son for his holy Mother!
Meditate a while in silence
O Jesus, by the compassion which thou didst feel for
thy Mother, have compassion on me, and give me a share
in her intercession.
O Mary, most afflicted Mother,
intercede
for me that, through the sufferings of thy Son, I may
be delivered from the wrath to come.
Amen
Prayers
O God, I love thee with my whole heart and above all things, and am heartily sorry that I have offended thee. May I never offend thee any more. O may I love thee without ceasing, and make it my delight to do in all things thy most holy will. Amen
Hail Mary...
Glory be to the Father...
Have mercy upon me, O Lord
Have mercy upon me
May the souls of the faithful
to the mercy
of God
rest in peace. Amen
