We adore You, O Christ, and we bless You because by Your holy Cross you have redeemed the world.

Meditation
   Again my son fell, and again my grief was overwhelming at the thought that he might die.  I started to move toward him, but the soldiers prevented me.  He rose and stumbled ahead slowly.  Seeing my son fall, get up again, and continue on, was bitter anguish to me.  But, since I knew this had to be, I walked on silently.

Prayer
   Lord, of all people Mary was your most faithful follower, never stopping in spite of all the pain she felt for you.  I have many times turned away from you by my sins and have caused others to turn away from you.  I beg you to have mercy on me.

Our Father, Hail Mary, Glory Be
