Thirteenth Station: Let us meditate on the Sacred Body of Jesus being lowered from the Cross.

We adore You, O Christ, and we praise You.
Because by Your holy cross, You have redeemed the world.

Blessed Mother, you are holding the cold and lifeless Body of the Lord, lowered from the Cross, and are miserably weeping and grieving!

How can we, who are so unworthy, possibly measure the extreme pains that you suffered while watching your Son's Death and the pains that you received while holding the Sacred Body of your Son, weeping ceaselessly and sorrowfully?

We are sinners who have nothing but shamefulness to offer, but, even when we are lonely, sad, or painful or receive all kinds of insults and criticisms, we will meditate on the miserable sufferings of the Mother and try to willingly and with love offer up the whole remainder of our lives to the Lord and the Blessed Mother.

As we intend to gracefully offer up even the unhealed wounds still wrapped up with bandages by turning our lives into prayers, help us display the power of love more vigorously imitating the intense Love of the Lord and the Blessed Mother for which You shed blood for the dying souls, and offer up our loyalty in heroic ways. (Meditate for a while.)

"I did not redeem the children in the world with gold, silver, precious stones, or worldly power, but redeemed them with the Blood that I shed from My Body to its last drop and in union with the sublimest Love of God. I will use these merits from shedding the Blood of Love for the conversion of sinners" (The Lord's message on July 28, 1987, from Julia's diary).

Amen.

Our Father, Hail Mary, and Glory be.

Mother, we ask you to engrave the Lord's Wounds deeply into our hearts.
