Jesus is stripped of his garments.

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

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

Priest. Consider the violence with which Jesus was stripped by the executioners. His inner garments adhered to his torn flesh, and they dragged them off so roughly that the skin came with them. pity your Saviour thus cruelly treated.

Priest. O Jesus, You permitted Yourself to be stripped of Your garments. Strip me of sin and clothe me with Your holiness. Grant that I may sacrifice all my unlawful attachments rather than imperil the divine life of my soul.

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

Make me feel as thou has felt;

Make my soul to glow and melt

With the love of Christ my Lord.
