Jesus Is Laid In The Tomb
We adore you, O Christ, and we bless you,
because by your holy cross you have redeemed the world.
Consider how the disciples carried away our Lord's body for
burial, while his holy Mother went with them and arranged
it in the sepulcher with her own hands. They then closed the
tomb, and all withdrew.
Ah ! My buried Jesus, I kiss this stone that closes you in. But you did rise from there on the third day. I beg you, by your resurrection, to make me rise with you in glory on the last day, so that I may be always united with you in heaven, to praise you and love you forever.
By the Cross with you to stay,
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.
There with you to weep and pray,
Is all I ask of you to give.
