V. Adoramus te Christe et benedicimus tibi (We adore Thee, O Christ, and we bless Thee)
R. Quia per Crucem tuam redemisti mundum (For by Thy holy cross Thou hast redeemed the world.)
Once again we meet Mary on the Way of the Cross, as well as at the Fourth Station and at the foot of the Cross.
God wanted her Son, whom she bore, to be placed on her lap again after His death, before He descended into the Kingdom of the dead to announce the Good News to those who awaited Him there, so that they too might receive the grace of Redemption.
