| Lord Jesus, I can never doubt your great love for me when I see you crucified. Help me to see your cross as the great sign of your love for me. |
| Lord Jesus, your broken and lifeless body calls me to deeper faith. You chose death, even death on the cross. Help me to see my crosses as ways of loving you. |
| Lord Jesus, seeing your body taken from the Cross reminds me how fearful I am of letting go of my own life. I am frightened when I think of being unimportant, useless, helpless. Help me to place my life in your hands. |
| Lord Jesus, when I see the great stone sealing your tomb, I feel alone and abandoned. Even though you sometimes seem distant or absent in my life, help me always to believe in your closeness and loving presence. |
| Our Father, Hail Mary, Glory Be |

| I adore you, Lord Jesus, and I praise you. Because by your Holy Cross, you have redeemed the world. |

| Closing Prayer |
| Lord Jesus, help me to walk with you each day of my life, even to Calvary. The sorrow and joy, the pain and healings, the failure and triumphs of my life are but small deaths and resurrections that lead up to closeness with You. Give me the faith and trust I need to walk with you always. In the Name of The Father, and of The Son, and of The Holy Spirit. Amen. |
