We adore you, Christ, and praise you.
Because by your holy cross you have redeemed the world.
Consider how the holy woman named Veronica, seeing Jesus so ill-used, and His face bathed in sweat and blood, presented Him with a towel, with which He wiped His adorable face, leaving on it the impression of His holy countenance.
My most beloved Jesus, your face was beautiful before; but in this journey it has lost all its beauty, and wounds and blood have disfigured it. My soul also was once beautiful, when it received your grace in baptism; but I have disfigured it since by my sins. You alone, my redeemer, by your passion, can restore it to its former beauty.
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 |
