FOURTEENTH STATION
Jesus is Laid in the Sepulcher
V.
We
adore Thee O
Christ
and we praise Thee.
R.
Because
by
Thy
holy
Cross
Thou
hast redeemed
the
world.
T
HE
body of Jesus is
interred in a stranger's
sepulcher. He,
who
in this
world
had nothing
upon which
to rest His head,
would
not
even
have a grave
of His own, because He was not
from this
world. You, who are so attached to the
world,
henceforth despise it,
that you
may not
perish with it.
O Jesus, Thou has
set
me
apart from
the
world;
what then,
shall
I
seek
therein? Thou hast
created
me for Heaven;
what then, have I to do
with
the
world?
Depart from me,
deceitful world,
with
thy
vanities!
Henceforth I will follow
the Way of the
Cross traced out for me by my Redeemer,
and
journey onward to
my heavenly
home, there
to dwell forever and
ever.

V.
Have mercy on us,
Lord.
R.
Have
mercy
on us.
V.
May
the
souls
of the faithful
departed, through the mercy of God,
rest in peace.
R.
Amen
