14: Jesus is Placed in the Tomb

We adore You, O Christ, and we praise You.

Because by Your holy Cross, You have redeemed the world.

 

Consider how the disciples carried the body of Jesus to bury it, accompanied by His holy Mother, who arranged it in the sepulcher with her own hands. They then closed the tomb, and all left.

 

Oh, my buried Jesus, I kiss the stone that encloses You. But You rose again on the third day. I beseech You, by Your resurrection, make me rise glorious with You at the last day, to be always united with You in heaven, to praise You and love You forever. I love You, and I repent of ever having offended You. Never permit me to offend You again. Grant that I may love You always; and then do with me what You will.

 

Our Father, Hail Mary, Glory be

 

Dear Jesus, You go to die

For very love of me:

Ah! let me keep You company;

I wish to die with You.
