Tenth Station – Jesus is Stripped of His Garments

V. We adore You, O Christ, and we praise You. (Genuflect)

R. Because, by Your holy Cross, You have redeemed the world. (Rise)

V. Consider how violently Jesus was stripped of his clothes by his executioners. The inner garments adhered to His lacerated flesh, and the soldiers tore them off so roughly that the skin came with them. Compassionate your Savior thus cruelly treated, and tell Him: (Kneel)

R. My innocent Jesus, by the torment You suffered in being stripped of your garments, help me to strip myself of all attachments to things of earth, that I may place all my love in you, who are worthy of all my love. I love You, O Jesus, with all my heart; I am sorry for ever having offended You. Never let me to offend You again. Grant that I may love You always; and then do with me as You will.

(Optional Our Father, Hail Mary and Glory Be)

Make me feel as You hast felt; make my soul to glow and melt with the love of Christ my Lord.
