meditate on Christ nailed to the cross by His hands and feet, set forth as a spectacle to the whole world.—Luke xxiii. 33. Behold, O man, thy Redeemer! With what affection hast thou hitherto embraced Him, Who here, with extended arms, invites thee to His embrace? _Affections._ “My Beloved to me, and I to Him.”—Cant. ii. 16. “Tell Him that I languish with love.”—Ibid. v. 8. “Who then shall separate us from the love of Christ? shall tribulation? or distress, or famine?... For I am sure that neither death, nor life, ... nor any other creature shall be able to separate us from the love of God, which is in Christ Jesus Our Lord.”—Rom. viii. 35‐39. At The Elevation Of The Chalice reflect how profusely Christ poured forth His blood from His five sacred wounds for the washing away of our sins. Run to Him, O sinner, that thou mayest be cleansed, and “draw waters with joy out of the Saviour’s fountains.”—Is. xii. 3. _Affections._ “Suffer me, therefore, that I may lament my sorrow a little, before I go, and return no more, to a land that is dark and covered with the mist of death.”—Job x. 20, 21. “Perhaps darkness shall cover me.”—Ps. cxxxix. 11. At The Memento For The Dead reflect on the infinite mercy of God towards those who fear Him, and pray for those holy souls who have departed this life according to His justice, and in the one true faith. _Affection._ O Jesus, “enlighten them that sit in darkness, and in the shadow of death.”—Luke i. 79. At The Pater Noster meditate upon the seven words of Christ uttered by Him upon the cross: 1, Christ prayed for His enemies; what dost thou do? 2, The thief, repenting, obtained heaven; learn seriously to repent and do penance, but delay it not to the last. 3, Christ commends His Mother to St. John, and St. John to His Mother; to whom canst thou better commend thyself? 4, Christ complains that He is forsaken; and dost thou expect consolation as thy right? 5, Christ thirsted for thy salvation; and dost thou turn away from it with loathing? 6, Christ announced that all His torments were finished; thus shall all thy good and evil in this world be brought to a close. 7, Lastly, after the example of Christ, commend thy spirit into the hands of thy heavenly Father.—Luke xxiii. 46. _Affections._ “And forgive us our debts, as we also forgive our debtors.”—Matt. vi. 12. Make me also to hear, “This day thou shalt be with Me in paradise.”—Luke xxiii. 43. O Mary, “behold thy Son!”—John xix. 26. “Forsake me not, O Lord my God: do not Thou depart from me.”—Ps. xxxvii. 22. “For Thee my soul hath thirsted.”—Ps. lxii. 2. “Happy is he who hath finished his course, who hath kept the faith.”—2 Tim. iv. 7. “Into Thy hands I commend my spirit.”—Luke xxiii. 46.
