We adore Thee, O Christ, and we praise Thee,
because by Thy holy cross, Thou hast redeemed the world.

REFLECTION

Bits of flesh and matted hair,

clots of hardened blood,

grime from the city's soil,

are torn from his quivering frame.

Stripped of his garments,

naked before the crowd,

a common criminal,

scourge of the earth,

folly of a foolish people,

Jesus, Son of God.
 

PRAYER

Jesus, our brother,

There is something fearful

in thinking of you stripped before the crowd.

Even the privacy of clothing is taken.

You have given up everything for us.

We give so little in return.

May we have the grace to give,

to give of what we have,

to help our brothers and sisters

suffering all around us.

Stripped and jeered by his own nation,

Jesus stood in desolation,

Giving all He had to give.

Our Father, Hail Mary, Glory Be to the Father
 
Jesus Christ, crucified, have mercy on us!

Make me feel as thou hast felt:
Make my soul to glow and melt
With the love of Christ, my Lord.
