XIII. Jesus is taken down from the Cross

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

Meditation:
The crowd had gone; the commotion and turmoil had ceased. I stood quietly and looked up at the dead body of my son, our savior. Then two men brought His body down from the cross, and placed Him in my arms. A deep sorrow engulfed my being. Yet, I also felt deep joy. Life had ended cruelly for my son, but it had also brought life to all of us. I knew this had to be, and I prayed silently.

Prayer:
Lord, your earthly life has ended. Yet, it your passion still goes on whenever I choose sin over you. I have done my part in your crucifixion and now, my savior; I beg your forgiveness with all my heart. Help me to live a life worthy of you and your mother.

Our Father...Hail Mary...Glory Be...
