We adore You, O Christ, and we praise You, because by Your holy cross You have redeemed the world.

The cross is prepared and is already placed upon Your shoulders. You accept it, as You taught us to accept our crosses and carry them so that we may become Your disciples. Thank You, Jesus.

Grant me the grace to accept the crosses of my life, Lord. Forgive me for having placed crosses on the shoulders of others and for thus having jeopardized peace. Have mercy on the families where children have become crosses of suffering to their parents and parents to their children. Give us Your peace, O Lord.

Our Father... Hail Mary... Glory Be...

Have mercy on us, O Lord!
Have mercy on us!
