Beneath the cross, we bow in adoration before You, Lord Jesus.
Your whole life was a life spent in love. In Your hidden life, You allowed that love to be nurtured. In Your public ministry, You courageously proclaimed it to all without exception.
Thank You for Your Seven Last Words, O Christ. May they give us consolation in these challenging times. May they also wake us up from the long sleep of apathy, selfishness, and lack of discernment.
In Your love, save our world, our country, Your people.
One with Mary, we make this prayer. Amen.
