SEVENTH STATION:
V. We adore thee, O Christ, and we bless thee.
R.
Because by thy holy Cross thou hast redeemed the world.Surely he hath borne our grief, and carried our sorrows. All we like sheep have gone astray; we have turned every one to his own way; and the Lord hath laid on him the iniquity of us all. He was oppressed, and he was afflicted, yet he opened not his mouth: for the transgression of his people was he stricken.
V. But as for me, I am a worm and no man
R.
A very scorn of men, and the outcast of my people.Let us pray.
Almighty and everlasting God, who, of thy tender love towards mankind, hast sent thy Son, our Saviour Jesus Christ, to take upon him our flesh, and to suffer death upon the cross, that all mankind should follow the example of his great humility; Mercifully grant, that we may both follow the example of his patience, and also be made partakers of his resurrection; through the same Jesus Christ our Lord.
Amen.True repentance, Jesus, win me
Saviour print thy wounds within me.
Brand them on my stubborn heart.
As thou bought'st, through tribulation,
in thy passion, my salvation,
Let me bear therein my part.
