Jesus is Nailed to the Cross

Presider:
|
|
We adore you, O Christ, and we praise
you.
|
|
|
All:
|
|
Because by your holy cross you have
redeemed the world.
|
|
|
Arise

Presider:

|
The cross is laid upon the ground and
Jesus is stretched upon his bed of death. At one and
the same time he offers his bruised limbs to his heavenly
Father in behalf of sinful men, and to his fierce executioners,
to be nailed by them to the shameful wood. The blows
are struck! The Precious Blood streams forth!
|
|
| |
|
O Jesus, nailed to the cross, fasten
our hearts there also, that they may be united to you
until death shall strike us with its fatal blow, and
with our last breath we shall have yielded up our souls
to you.

When they came to the Skull Place, as
it was called, they crucified Jesus there and the criminals
as well, one on his right and the other on his left.
Jesus said, "Father, forgive them; for they know
not what they do."
|
|
|
All:
|
|
Just as Moses lifted up the serpent
in the desert, so must the Son of Man be lifted up,
that all who believe may have eternal life in him.
|
|
|
All sing:
|
|
Holy Mother, pierce me through,
In my heart each wound renew,
Of my Savior crucified.
