We adore You, O Christ, and we bless You because by Your holy Cross you have redeemed the world.

Meditation
   We brought Jesus' body to a tomb and I arranged it there myself, silently weeping, silently rejoicing.  I took one more look at my loving son, and then walked out.  They closed the tomb and before I left, I thought, I knew this had to be ... it had to be for you!  I would wait in faith silently.

Prayer
   Yes, my Lord, this had to be because you love me, and for no other reason.  All you ask is that I live a good life.  You never said such a life would be easy.  I am willing to leave sin behind and live for you alone, in my brothers and sisters.

Our Father, Hail Mary, Glory Be
