The Sorrowful Mother receives the martyred body of her son. Through her, the Mediatrix of all grace, the lost paradise is opened. The victory over evil is in her hands. XIII Jesus is taken from the Cross.
Prayer for the Thirteenth Station
Mary, mother and teacher even in sorrow, teach us to imitate Jesus and to persevere faithfully in His love through the vicissitudes, difficult trials, and terrible contradictions of life, so that we may inherit the kingdom promised to those who give themselves entirely to the sacred, great, and eternal cause of Christ. O Mary! Pray for us and spread Your mantle of grace over our wounds and infirmities, enabling us to contemplate, in the hope that does not disappoint, the dawn of Christ’s resurrection in our human history. Amen!
Prayer by Bishop Pierre-André Dumas, Diocese of Anse-à-Veau and Miragoâne in Haiti
