Station XII: Jesus Dies on the Cross
V. We adore thee, 0 christ. And we bless thee:
R. Because by thy holy cross Thou hast redeemed the world.
Behold the Lord of life and glory saying, "It is finished - Father, into thy hands I commend my spirit." The saving Victim has become the mighty Victor. Sin, Satan and death are defeated.
There is darkness over all the earth; the rocks are broken; the graves are opened; the Veil of the Temple is torn in pieces.
V. Holy god, holy and mighty, holy and immortal,
R. Have mercy upon us.
V. Christ became obedient unto death.
R. Even the death of the cross.
LET US PRAY
O BLESSED LORD JESUS, who by your death upon the cross made a perfect sacrifice for the sins of the world: Accept the lowly offering of my heart's love; and grant that, dying unto self, I may live only unto thee, who died for me and now livest and reignest with the Father and the Holy Ghost, ever one God, world without end. AMEN
Love and thanks and praise address we
As we gaze contemplative,
See we now where Christ our Saviour
Hung and died that we might live,
And with lowly adoration
All our hearts' best off'ring give
