Jesus is laid in the tomb
V. We adore Thee, O Christ,
and we praise Thee.
R. Because by Thy holy cross Thou hast redeemed the world.
Consider that the disciples carried the body of Jesus to bury it, accompanied
by His holy Mother, who arranged it in the sepulchre with her own hands.
They then closed the tomb and all withdrew.
Oh, my buried Jesus, I kiss the stone that encloses Thee. But Thou didst
rise again the third day. I beseech Thee, by Thy resurrection, make me rise
glorious with Thee at the last day, to be always united with Thee in heaven,
to praise Thee and love Thee forever. I love Thee, and I repent of ever having
offended Thee. Never permit me to offend Thee again. Grant that I may love
Thee; and then do with me what Thou wilt.
All:
Our Father, Who art in Heaven, hallowed be Thy Name. Thy Kingdom come, Thy
will be done on earth, as it is in Heaven. And give us this day our daily
bread and forgive us our trespasses as we forgive those who trespass against
us. And lead us not into temptation, but deliver us from evil.
Hail Mary, full of grace, the Lord is with thee. Blessed art thou amongst
women and blessed is the Fruit of thy womb, Jesus. Holy Mary, Mother of God,
pray for us sinners, now and at the hour of our death.
Glory be to the Father, and to the Son, and to the Holy Spirit, as it was
in the beginning, is now, and ever shall be, world without end. Amen.
