Jesus is nailed to the Cross.

Priest. (Genuflecting) We adore Thee, O Christ, and Praise Thee.

All. (Genuflecting) Because by Thy Holy Cross Thou hast redeemed the World.

Priest. Consider how Jesus, having been placed upon the Cross, extended his hands, and offered to his Eternal Father the sacrifice of his life for our salvation. Those barbarians fastened him with nails, and then, securing the Cross, allowed him to die with anguish on this infamous gibbet.

Priest. O Jesus, how could I complain if nailed to God’s commandments which are given for my salvation, when I see you nailed to the Cross! Strengthen my faith and increase my love for You. Help me keep the commandments.

An Act of Contrition.

All (Genuflecting) I love Thee, Jesus, my love, above all things; I repent with my whole heart of having offended Thee. Never permit me to separate myself from Thee again. Grant that I may love Thee always; and then do with me what Thou wilt.

Our Father...Hail Mary...Glory be to the Father.

Sabat Mater

Holy Mother pierce me through,

In my heart each wound renew

Of my saviour crucified.
