THE WAY OF THE CROSS.
FOURTEENTH STATION.
Jesus is laid in the tomb.
My Jesus, beside Thy Body in the tomb I too would lie dead; and if I live, let me live but to Thee, so that one day I may taste heaven's bliss with Thee, fruit of Thy Passion and Thy bitter death. Amen.
Let us pray.
O God, who by the Precious Blood of Thy only begotten Son didst sanctify the standard of the Cross; grant, we beseech Thee, that we who rejoice in the glory of the same Holy Cross, may feel everywhere the gladness of Thy sovereign protection. Through the same Christ our Lord.
Conclude by saying five times Our Father, Hail Mary, and Glory be, etc., to gain the Indulgences.
