ELEVENTH STATION Jesus is Nailed to the Cross V. We adore Thee, O Christ, and
we bless Thee. Consider that Jesus, after being thrown on the cross, extended His hands, and offered to His eternal Father the sacrifice of His life for our salvation. These barbarians fasten Him with nails; and then, raising the cross, leave Him to die with anguish on this infamous gibbet. My Jesus, loaded with contempt, nail my heart to Thy feet, that it may ever remain there to love Thee, and never quit Thee again. I love Thee more than myself; I repent of having offended Thee. Never permit me to offend Thee again. Grant that I may love Thee always; and then do with me what Thou wilt.

| Tui Nati vulnerati, | Let me share with thee His pain, |
| Tam dignati pro me pati, | Who for all our sins was slain, |
| Poenas mecum divide. | Who for me in torments died. |
