The Meditation
Our Saviour, being torn with scourges, and pierced with thorns, to expiate our sins, is compelled to carry the cross on which he is to die, and moves on in anguish and sorrow towards the place of his execution.
O Jesus of Nazareth, King of the Jews, have mercy on us. [Ten times.] Glory, &c.
V.—The Descent of our Saviour into Hell.
