- We adore you, Oh Christ, ...
LIKE WATER MY LIFE DRAINS AWAY; ALL MY BONES ARE DISJOINTED. MY HEART BECOMES LIKE WAX, IT MELTS AWAY WITHIN ME. AS DRY AS A POTSHERD IS MY THROAT; MY TONGUE CLEAVES TO MY PALATE. (Psalm 21: 15).
The hours go by and the pain increases along with your infinite agony…
Oh, Divine Savior, from the cross where you are suspended, you pray to the Father for those who are killing you, you forgive the thief who dies next to you and you give us your grieving Mother. Only one complaint leaves your lips: I'm thirsty! What is, my Lord, this thirst that consumes you? You thirst for souls...
With what a patience, obedience and love do you accept, Lord, in the most absolute silence, all these sufferings!
Heavenly Father, you accepted the Redemptive Sacrifice of your Son for love to us, give us the courage to be your witnesses in a world that is moving away from you. Take our lives that we offer you, in memory of Jesus' sufferings, make us receive the fruits of redemption every day while we pilgrimage in this life. Through Jesus Christ, Our Lord. Amen.
