℣. We adore you, O Christ, and we bless you.
℟. Because by your holy cross you have redeemed the world.
Carrying the cross, Jesus meets his Mother, whose soul is pierced by a sword of sorrow. The Hearts of Jesus and Mary are united in the same suffering.
Behold the two Hearts that have so greatly loved all people and have not spared themselves anything for them.
Most Sacred Hearts of Jesus and Mary, grant me the grace to better know you, love you, and imitate you. I offer you my whole heart that it may always be yours.
Have mercy on us, O Lord.
Have mercy on us.
Holy Mother, etc.
Is there one who would not weep,
Whelmed in miseries so deep,
Christ’s dear Mother to behold?
Quis est homo qui non fleret,
Matrem Christi si videret,
In tanto supplicio?
