Holy Women
Jesus Speaks to the Women of Jerusalem

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

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

Lourdes Candles

Meditation:
Jesus talks to the women to not cry for Him but for themselves. Jesus, I know I should be very sad as I see you torn and beaten and I am. I am listening for your guidance to understand what is this lesson that I need to learn here. Is it learning to let go of things we have no control over? Tell me Lord I am listening.

Prayer:
My Jesus, I weep for the sins I have committed against Thee, because of the pains they have deserved, but more because of the displeasure they have caused Thee, who hast loved me so much. 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.
