T E N T H S TAT I O N :
Jesus Is Stripped of His Garments
C. We adore You, O Christ, and we bless You.
P. Because of Your holy Cross You have redeemed the world.
C. When the soldiers had crucified Jesus, they took His
clothes and divided them into four shares, a share for each
soldier. They also took His tunic, but the tunic was seamless,
woven in one piece from the top down. So they said to one
another, “Let’s not tear it, but cast lots for it to see whose
it will be,” in order that the passage of scripture might be
fulfilled (John 19:23-24).
S. Faustina: (P.) Jesus was suddenly standing before me,
stripped of His clothes, His body completely covered with
wounds, His eyes flooded with tears and blood, His face
disfigured and covered with spittle.
Jesus: (C.) The bride must resemble her Betrothed.
S. Faustina: (P.) I understood these words to their very
depth. There is no room for doubt here.My likeness to Jesus
must be through suffering and humility (268).
All: Jesus, meek and humble of heart, make my heart like
unto Your heart.
C. You, who suffered wounds for us,
P. Christ Jesus, have mercy on us.
Sung Verse: Bruised, derided, cursed, defiled,
She beheld her tender Child
All with bloody scourges rent
