Jesus stripped arid drenched with gall.

V. We adore thee, O Christ, and bless thee.

R. Because by thy holy cross thou hast redeemed the world.

My Jesus, who wast stripped of thy clothes, and drenched with gall, strip me of love for things of earth, and make me loathe all that savours of the world and sin.

Our Father, etc. Have mercy, etc.

STATION XI.

Jesus nailed to the Cross.

V. We adore thee, O Christ, and bless thee.

R. Because by thy holy cross thou hast redeemed the world.

My Jesus, by those agonizing pains thou didst endure when the cruel nails pierced thy tender hands and feet, and fixed them to the cross, O make me ever crucify my flesh with the spirit of true Christian penance.

Our Father, etc. Have mercy, etc.

STATION XII.

Jesus dies upon the Cross.

V. We adore thee, O Christ, and bless thee.

R. Because by thy holy cross thou hast redeemed the world.

My Jesus, three hours didst thou hang in agony upon the cross, and then didst die for me; let me die before I sin again, and if Hive, may I live to love thee and serve thee faithfully.

Our Father, etc. Have mercy, etc.
