The Fourteenth Station.
(Genuflect) Priest: We adore Thee, O Christ, and we bless Thee.
People: Because by Thy Holy Cross Thou hast redeemed the world.
(Stand)
Priest: Consider how the disciples carried the body of Jesus to bury it, accompanied by His holy Mother, who arranged it in the sepulchre with her own hands. They then closed the tomb, and all withdrew.
(Kneel)
People: Ah, my buried Jesus, * I kiss the stone that encloses Thee. * But Thou didst rise again the third day * I beseech Thee, by Thy Resurrection, * make me rise glorious with Thee at the last day, * to be always united with Thee in heaven, * to praise Thee and love Thee forever.
I love Thee, and I repent of ever having offended Thee. * Permit not that I ever offend Thee again. * Grant that I may love Thee always; * and then do with me what Thou wilt. *
(Say) Our Father-Hail Mary-Gloria Patri.
Look, dear friends, Altar #1 is all set up for Easter and the Victory of our risen Lord. And that's just it. Good triumphs over evil, life over death, heaven over hell, God over Satan. You too can be part of this victory but that, punters, few as you are, is for tomorrow.
