TENTH STATION
Jesus is Stripped of His Garments
V.
We adore Thee O Christ and we praise Thee.WHEN
Our
Saviour had arrived
on
Calvary,
He
was cruelly
despoiled of
His garments.
How painful
this must have been because
they
adhered to His
wounded and torn
body,
and with
them parts of
His
bloody
skin
were removed! All
the wounds
of Jesus
were
renewed. Jesus
was
despoiled
of His
garments that He might die possessed
of nothing; how happy
will I
also
die after
laying aside
my former
self with all evil
desires
and sinful
inclinations!
Induce me, O Jesus, to lay
aside
my former
self
and to be
renewed
according to Thy will
and desire.
I will
not
spare
myself: however painful
this should be for me: despoiled of things
temporal, of my own will, I desire to die,
in order to
live for Thee forever.
