Station XII

V/: We adore Thee, O Christ, and we bless Thee (genufect)
R/: Because by Thy holy cross Thou hast redeemed the world.

Eli, Eli, lamma Sabacthani.

My God, my God, why hast thou forsaken me?

In manus tuas commendo Spiritum meum.

Into your hands I commend my spirit.

Consummatum est.

It is finished.

O Traurigkeit, O Herzeleid

O sorrow, O grief,

ist das nicht zu beklagen?

Is it not something to bewail

Gott des Vaters einigs Kind

That God the Father’s only child

wird ins Grab getragen.

Should be laid in a grave?


Ah! Mine outraged Jesus, by the merits of the weakness Thou didst suffer in going to Calvary, give me strength sufficient to conquer all human respect, and all wicked passions, which have led me to despise Thy friendship. I love Thee, Jesus, my love, above all things; I repent with my whole heart of having offended Thee. Never permit me to separate myself from Thee again. Grant that I may love Thee always, and then do with me what Thou wilt.

Our Father...
Hail Mary...
Glory be...

18. Flammis ne urar succensus
Per Te, Virgo, sim defensus
In die iudicii

18. Lest I be set afire by flames of death, Virgin, may I be defended by you, on the day of judgement
