• Jesus, prostrate before Thy Father at Gethsemane, and burdened with the sins of the whole world,
  have...
• Jesus seized with fear, plunged into sorrow, reduced to agony and covered in a sweat of blood,
• Jesus betrayed by a perfidious apostle and sold at a vile price like a slave,
• Jesus bound, gagged, dragged to Annas and Caiaphas and treated as an impious blasphemer,
• Jesus led to Pilate, and accused as a seditious person,
• Jesus appearing before Herod, clothed in a robe of ignominy like a fool,
• Jesus cruelly scourged and bathed in Thy blood,
• Jesus crowned with thorns, covered in a scarlet cloak and exposed to the gaze of a vile and barbarous multitude,
• Jesus set alongside a notorious criminal who was preferred to Thee,
• Jesus shamefully condemned by Pilate and abandoned to the rage of Thy enemies,
• Jesus, exhausted by sufferings and ascending to Calvary, burdened with the weight of Thy cross,
• Jesus, stretched out, nailed to an infamous gibbet and ranked among the wicked.
• Jesus, praying to Thy Father and asking mercy for Thy executioners and for all sinners,
• Jesus, dying of love for those who gave Thee gall and vinegar to drink,
• Jesus, obedient even unto death,
• Jesus committing Thy holy soul into the hands of Thy Father,
• Jesus inclining Thy sacred head and breathing Thy last,
• Jesus whose divine Heart was pierced by the spear,
• Jesus detached from the Cross and laid upon the knees of Mary,
• Jesus buried for three days in the sepulchre.

• Lamb of God, who takest away the sins of the world, 
  spare us, O Lord.
• Lamb of God, who takest away the sins of the world, 
  graciously hear us, O Lord.
• Lamb of God, who takest away the sins of the world, 
  have mercy on us.

Let Us Pray. –

Adorable Jesus, living, suffering, and dying for us, grant us the grace to live and suffer with Thee, as Thou dost, and for Thee, that we may merit to die in Thy holy love. Amen.
