The Twelfth Station - Jesus is Raised up, and Dies
	V. We adore You, O Christ, and we bless You. R. Because by Your holy Cross, You have redeemed the world. Meditate: Consider how your Jesus, after three hours' Agony on the Cross, consumed at length with anguish, abandons Himself to the weight of His body, bows His head, and dies. Pray: O my dying Jesus, I kiss devoutly the Cross on which You died for love of me. I have merited by my sins to die a miserable death; but Your death is my hope. Ah, by the merits of Your death, give me grace to die, embracing Your feet, and burning with love for You. I yield my soul into Your hands. I love You with my whole heart; I repent of ever having offended You. Never permit me to offend You again. Grant that I may love You always; and then do with me what You will. Recite: Our Father, Hail Mary, Glory Be
Thou, my Saviour's Cross who bearest, Thou thy Son's rebuke who sharest, Let me share them both with thee!
