TENTH STATION:
V. We adore thee, O Christ, and we bless thee.
R.
Because by thy holy Cross thou frost redeemed the world.And when they were come unto a place called Golgotha, that is to say, a place of a skull, they gave him vinegar to drink mingled with gall: and when he had tasted thereof, he would not drink. And they parted his garments, casting lots: that it might be fulfilled which was spoken by the prophet, They parted my garments among them, and upon my vesture did they cast lots.
V. They gave me gall to eat
R.
And when I was thirsty they gave me vinegar to drink.Let us pray.
O Lord God, whose blessed Son, our Saviour, gave his back to the smiters and hid not his face from shame Grant us grace to take joyfully the sufferings of the present time, in full assurance of the glory that shall be revealed; through the same thy Son Jesus Christ our Lord.
Amen.Jesus, great beyond all other,
Turn not from me, heav'nly brother,
Let me too bewail thy pain.
