TWELFTH STATION

Jesus is Raised upon the Cross and Dies

V. We adore Thee O Christ and we praise Thee.
R. Because by Thy holy Cross Thou
hast redeemed the world.

BEHOLD Jesus crucified! Behold His wounds,
received for love of you! His whole appearance
betokens love: His head is bent to kiss you;
His arms are extended to embrace you; His Heart
is open to receive you. O superabundance of love,
Jesus the Son of God, dies upon the cross, that
man may live and be delivered from everlasting
death!

O most amiable Jesus! Who will grant me that
I may die for Thee! I will at least endeavor to die
to the world. How must I regard the world and
it vanities, when I behold Thee hanging on the
cross, covered with wounds? O Jesus, receive
me into Thy wounded Heart: I belong
entirely to Thee; for Thee alone
do I desire to live and to die.

Our Father, Hail Mary, Glory Be.
 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
