 of Thee. My Jesus,  I  will  live and die  always  united  to  Thee.

1. At  the  Cross  her  station  keeping. Stood   the    mournful  Mother weeping, Close to  Jesus  to  the  last.

V. We  adore  Thee,  O  Christ, and we  bless  Thee.

R. Because  by  Thy  holy  Cross Thou hast  redeemed  the  world.

Consider how  Jesus,  after  having  been scourged and  crowned  with  thorns, was unjustly  condemned  by  Pilate  to die  on  the  Cross.

Y adorable  Jesus,  it  was  not Pilate; no,  it  was  my  sins that condemned  Thee  to  die. I beseech Thee,  by  the  merits  of  this sorrowful journey,  to  assist  my  soul in her  journey  towards  eternity.
