TWELFTH STATION
Jesus dies on the cross
V/. Adorámus te, Christe, et benedícimus tibi. R/. Quia per sanctam crucem tuam redemísti mundum. |
V/. We adore you, O Christ, and we praise you. R/. For by your holy cross you have redeemed the world. |
A jar full of sour wine stood there; so, putting a sponge soaked in the wine on a hyssop stick, they held it
up to his mouth. After Jesus had taken the wine he said "It is fulfilled"; and bowing his head he
gave up his spirit. [John 19:30] Spend a few moments in silent reflection: - The sacrifice that began with the Last Supper is completed. How far do I understand the mystery of the Mass? - Do I show the honour I should to Jesus in the blessed Sacrament of His Body and Blood? |

Amo te, o Jesu, mi Amor, magis quam meípsum, et ex íntimo corde pænitet me quod tibi displícui. Ne sinas me íterum a te separári. Da mihi perpétuum amórem tui, et dein fac de me quidquid tibi placúerit. |
I love you Jesus, my Love, above all things; I repent with my whole heart for having offended you. Never permit me to separate myself from you again. Grant that I may love you always, then do with me what you will. |
Tui nati vulneráti tam dignáti pro me pati pœnas mecum dívide |
Let met share with thee his pain, who for all my sins was slain, who for me in torments died. |
