PRIEST - We adore You, O Christ, and we praise You. (Genuflect) 

PEOPLE -  Because, by Your holy cross, You have redeemed the world. (Rise) 

PRIEST - Consider how Jesus Christ, after being scourged and crowned with thorns, was unjustly condemned by Pilate to die on the cross. (Kneel) 

PEOPLE - My adorable Jesus,  

it was not Pilate;  

no, it was my sins that condemned You to die.  

I beseech You, by the merits of this sorrowful journey,  

to assist my soul on its journey to eternity. 

I love You, beloved Jesus;  

I love You more than I love myself. 

With all my heart I repent of ever having offended You. 

Grant that I may love You always; and then do with me as You will.
