Lourdes High Station 13

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

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

Prayer:
O Mother of Sorrow, for the love of this Son, accept me and pray to Him for me. And Thou, my Redeemer, since Thou hast died for me, permit me to love Thee; I wish but Thee and nothing more. 
The Way of the Cross of Saint Alphonsus Liquori

Our Father...
Hail Mary...
Glory Be...

v. Have Mercy upon us O Lord.
r. Have Mercy on us.

May the souls of the faithful departed, through the mercy of God, rest in peace.

Meditation:
The men take Jesus down from the Cross and places Him in His mother's arms. This is a day of pain and sorrow for her. I can't begin to imagine what Mary felt this day. My heart can and does poor out with compassion.
