We adore you, Christ, and praise you.
Because by your holy cross you have redeemed the world.
Consider how his cruel tormentors, seeing Jesus was on the point of expiring, and fearing He would die on the say, whereas they wished Him to die the shameful death of the cross, constrained Simon of Cyrene to carry the cross behind our Lord.
My most beloved Jesus, I will not refuse the cross, as the Cyrenian did; I accept it, I embrace it. I accept in particular the death you have destined for me, with all the pains which may accompany it; I unite it to your death; I offer it to you. You died for love of me; I will die for love of you. Help me by your grace.
I love you Jesus, my love, above all things;
I repent with my whole heart for having offended you.
Never permit me to separate myself from you again.
Grant that I may love you always,
then do with me what you will.
| Our Father | Hail Mary | Glory Be |
