 TENTH STATION Jesus is Stripped of his Garments V. We adore thee, O Christ, and we bless thee. R. Because by thy Holy Cross thou hast redeemed the world. Arrived at last at the place of sacrifice they prepare to crucify him. His garments are torn from his bleeding Body, and he, the Holy of holies, stands exposed to the vulgar gaze of the rude and scoffing multitude. O Lord Jesus, thou didst endure this shame for our most shameful deeds. Strip us, we beseech thee, of all false shame, conceit and pride, and make us so to humble ourselves voluntarily in this life, that we may escape everlasting shame in the world to come. Act of Contrition O God, we love thee with our whole
hearts and above all things and are heartily sorry that we have
offended thee. May we never offend thee any more. O, may we love
thee without ceasing, and make it our delight to do in all things
thy most holy will. HAIL, Mary GLORY be. V. Have mercy upon us, O Lord. R. Have mercy upon us. + May the souls of the faithful, through the mercy of God, rest in peace. Amen. Unto Christ with pure emotion May I raise my heart's devotion, Love to read in every wound. With loving hearts and footsteps slow To Calvary with Christ we go. See how his precious Blood At every Station pours: Was ever grief like His? Was ever sin like ours? |
