me to love thee; for I wish but thee, and nothing more. I love thee, my Jesus, above all things. I repent, etc.

Jesus is placed in the Sepulchre.
V. We adore thee, etc.
CONSIDER how the disciples carried the body of Jesus to bury it, accompanied by his holy Mother, who arranged it in the sepulchre, with her own hands. They then closed the tomb, and all withdrew.
Ah! my buried Jesus, I kiss the tomb that encloses thee. But thou didst rise again the third day. I beseech thee by thy resurrection, make me rise glorious with thee at the last day, to be always united to thee in heaven, to praise thee and love thee for ever. O Jesus, I love thee. I repent, etc.
Pater , Are, Gloria.
LET US PRAY.
LOOK down, O Lord, we beseech thee, upon this thy family, for which our Lord Jesus Christ did not refuse to be delivered into the hands of wicked men, and to endure the torments of the Cross. Who liveth and reigneth with thee in the unity of the Holy Ghost, God, for ever and ever. Amen.
May our Lord Jesus Christ bless us, who for us was scourged, laden with his Cross, and crucified.
TO THE MOST HOLY VIRGIN IN HER DESOLATION.
HAIL Mary, full of sorrows, the Crucified is with thee: tearful art thou amongst women, and tearful is the fruit of thy womb, Jesus. Holy Mary, Mother of the Crucified, give tears to us, crucifiers of thy Son, now and at the hour of our death. Amen.
