Readings of the day
Sorrowful Mysteries
Fifth Mystery: The Crucifixion
“Father, into your hands I commit my spirit!”Luke 23:46
Jesus is nailed to the Cross between two thieves. He forgives His executioners, promises Paradise to the repentant thief, gives His Mother to the beloved disciple, and dies for our salvation.
Fruit of the mystery: Perseverance
Act of Contrition
O my God, I am heartily sorry for having offended you, and I detest all my sins because of your just punishments, but most of all because they offend you, my God, who are all good and deserving of all my love.
I firmly resolve, with the help of your grace, to sin no more and to avoid the near occasion of sin. Amen.
