Jesus Speaks To The Weeping Women
We adore you, O Christ, and we bless you,
because by your holy cross you have redeemed the world.
Consider how the women, seeing Jesus so distressed
and dripping with blood as he walked along, wept with
compassion for him. But Jesus said to them, "Weep not
for me, but for your children."
My sorrowful Jesus, I weep for the offenses I have committed because of the punishment I deserve for them, but still more because of the displeasure they have given you, who has loved me so much. It is your love more than the fear of hell that makes me weep for my sins.
For the sins of his own nation
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 saw him hang in desolation,
Till his spirit forth he sent.
