 me to  love  thee;  for  I wish  but  thee,  and nothing more. I love thee,  my  Jesus,  above  all things. I repent, etc.

ONSIDER how  the  disciples  carried  the  body  of Jesus  to  bury  it,  accompanied  by  his  holy  Mother, who arranged  it  in  the  sepulchre,  with  her  own  hands. They then  closed  the  tomb,  and  all  withdrew.

Ah! my buried  Jesus,  I kiss  the  tomb  that  encloses thee. But thou  didst  rise  again  the  third  day. I beseech thee  by  thy  resurrection,  make  me  rise glorious with  thee  at  the  last  day,  to  be  always  united to thee  in  heaven,  to  praise  thee  and  love  thee  for ever. O Jesus, I love  thee. I repent, etc.

''Pater, Are, Gloria. ''

OOK down,  O Lord,  we  beseech  thee,  upon  this thy family,  for  which  our  Lord  Jesus  Christ  did not refuse  to  be  delivered  into  the  hands  of  wicked men, and  to  endure  the  torments  of  the  Cross. Who liveth  and  reigneth  with  thee  in  the  unity  of the  Holy  Ghost,  God,  for  ever  and  ever. Amen.

May our  Lord  Jesus  Christ  bless  us,  who  for  us was  scourged,  laden  with  his  Cross,  and  crucified.

AIL Mary,  full  of  sorrows,  the  Crucified  is  with thee: tearful art  thou  amongst  women,  and tearful is  the  fruit  of  thy  womb,  Jesus. Holy Mary, Mother of  the  Crucified,  give  tears  to  us,  crucifiers  of thy  Son,  now  and  at  the  hour  of  our  death. Amen.
