Jesus Meets His Afflicted Mother
We adore you, O Christ, and we bless you,
because by your holy cross you have redeemed the world.
Consider how the Son met his Mother on his way to Calvary.
Jesus and Mary gazed at each other, and the woeful sight
pierced their loving hearts with arrows of grief.
My dearest Jesus, by the pain you did feel in this meeting, grant me the grace of being truly devoted to your most holy Mother. And do you, my sorrowful Queen, obtain for me through your intercession an ever affectionate remembrance of the Passion of your Son.
Christ above in torment hangs,
I love you, Jesus, my love, more than I love myself. With all my heart
I am sorry that I have offended you. Never let me be separated from
you again. Grant that I may always love you, and then do with me what
you will. I accept everything that pleases you.
Our Father, Hail Mary, and Glory be to the Father.
She beneath beholds the pangs
Of her dying, glorious Son.
