Consider how the disciples, accompanied by his holy Mother,

carried the body of Jesus to bury it .

They closed the tomb, and all came sorrowfully away.

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, and then do with me what you will.

We adore you, O Christ, and we praise you.

Because by your holy Cross you have redeemed the world.

Concluding Prayer.

Heavenly Father, we have contemplated your Son, Jesus,

on his Way of the Cross, in his Spirit which you have gifted to us.

We accept our way of the Cross. We know it will lead us to,

where it led him to, our resurrection with him.

We thank You for the joy of this vision of Faith.

For the intention of the Holy Father.

O God, the Shepherd and Ruler of all Your faithful people,

mercifully look upon Your sevant Pope Francis, whom You

have chosen as the chief Shepherd to preside over Your Church.

We beg You to help him edify, both by word and example,

those over whom he has charge, that he may reach everlasting

life together with the flock entrusted to him.

Through Christ our Lord. Amen.
