T H I R T E E N T H S TAT I O N :
Jesus Is Taken Down from the Cross
C. We adore You, O Christ, and we bless You.
P. Because of Your holy Cross You have redeemed the world.
C. The centurion who witnessed what had happened
glorified God and said, “This man was innocent beyond
doubt.”When all the people who had gathered for this spec-
tacle saw what had happened, they returned home beating
their breasts; but all His acquaintances stood at a distance,
including the women who had followed Him from Galilee,
and saw these events (Luke 23:47-49).
Jesus: (C.) Most dear to Me is the soul that strongly
believes in My goodness and has complete trust in Me. I
heap My confidence upon it and give it all it asks (453).
S. Faustina: (P.) I fly to Your mercy, Compassionate God,
who alone are good. Although my misery is great, and my
offenses are many, I trust inYour mercy, because You are the
God of mercy; and, from time immemorial, it has never
been heard of, nor do heaven or earth remember, that a soul
trusting in Your mercy has been disappointed (1730).
All: Merciful Jesus, daily increase my trust in Your mercy
that always and everywhere I may give witness to Your
boundless goodness and love.
C. You, who suffered wounds for us,
P. Christ Jesus, have mercy on us.
Sung Verse: Virgin of all virgins blest!
Listen to my fond request:
Let me share your grief divine.
