Twelfth Station – Jesus dies upon the cross

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 Your Jesus, after three hours of Agony on the Cross, is finally overwhelmed with suffering, and abandoning Himself to the weight of His body, bows His head, and dies. (Kneel)

R. My dying Jesus, I devoutly kiss the Cross on which You died for love of me. I deserve, because of my sins, to die a miserable death; but Your death is my hope. By the merits of Your death, give me grace to die, embracing Your feet, and burning with love of You. I yield my soul into Your hands. I love You with my whole heart; I repent of ever having offended You. Never permit 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)

Let me share with You His pain, who for all my sins was slain, who for me in torments died.
