Versicle (V.) Christ for us became obedient unto death,
Response (R.) even the death of the Cross.

Let us pray

O CHRIST JESUS, my Lord and my God, with what great love did you traverse the painful road which led you to your death!  And I, how often have I forsaken you!  But now I love you with all my heart, and because I love you I am sincerely sorry for having sinned against you.  Forgive me, Lord Jesus, and look with mercy on me as in spirit I accompany you on the Way of Sorrows.  You died for love of me: may I die to sin for love of you, my most holy Saviour.

V. O Saviour of the world, who by your Cross and precious Blood has redeemed us,
R. save us and help us, we humbly beseech you, O Lord.
