Jesus is met by his Blessed Mother.

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

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

Priest. Consider this meeting of the Son and the Mother, which took place on this journey. Their looks became like so many arrows to wound those hearts which loved each other so tenderly.

Priest. O Jesus, Your afflicted Mother was resigned to Your Passion because she is my mother also, and wants to see me live and die as a child of God. Grant me a tender love for You and Your holy Mother.

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

Christ above in torment hangs;

She beneath beholds the pangs

Of her dying glorious Son.
