We adore thee, O Christ, and we praise thee.
Because by thy holy Cross, thou hast redeemed the world

Reading
And carrying his own cross he went out of the city to the place of the
skull or, as it was called in Hebrew, Golgotha, where they crucified him
with two others, one on either side, with Jesus in the middle. - John 19.17

Meditation
The hands and the feet of Jesus, nailed to the Cross, might seem powerless.
But never were His arms more strong than at the moment when they were
lifting up a fallen world. Lord Jesus, help all those today
who are restrained by sickness or misfortune.

Lord, have mercy.    Christ, have mercy.    Lord, have mercy.
