The Tenth Station - Jesus is stripped of His garments


Click here for next station

Holy Mother, pierce me through
In my heart each wound renew
Of my Savior crucified.

Consider how Jesus was violently stripped of His clothes by His executioners.  The inner garments adhered to His lacerated flesh and the soldiers tore them off so roughly that the skin came with them.  Have pity for your Savior so cruelly treated and tell Him:

My innocent Jesus,
by the torment You suffered in being stripped of Your garments,
help me to strip myself of all attachment from the things of earth
that I may place all my love in You who are so worthy of my love.
I love You, O Jesus, with all my heart;
I am sorry for ever having offended You.
Never let me offend You again.
Grant that I may love You always;
and then do with me as You will.
