<p class="normal_text"><strong>V. </strong>We adore you, O Christ and we bless you.<br />
<strong>R. </strong>Because&nbsp;by&nbsp;your Holy Cross, you&nbsp;have redeemed&nbsp;the world.<br />
&nbsp;</p>

<p class="subtitle_brown"><em>According to the Gospel of Mathew (Mathew 11, 28-30)</em></p>

<p class="quote">&laquo;Come to me, all you who are weary and burdened, and I will give you rest.&nbsp;Take my yoke upon you and learn from me; for I am gentle and humble in heart, and you will find rest for your souls.&nbsp;For my yoke is easy and my burden is light. &raquo;</p>

<p class="subtitle_brown"><em>Meditation</em></p>

<p class="normal_text">Lord Jesus, it is heavy the response you receive in view to the lightness you bring and the relief you offer. Even now, under the cross and its weight &ndash; made of so many loads in it condensed -, you cover with gentleness and softness the silence you use to embrace the&nbsp; lowering which, although, in this moment, imposed by those who want to take your life, you long wanted to assume and live. No one reaches to you, you are surrounded by angry and amused by the painful show faces. It is you, who is reaching to them and eagerly wishing to rescue them to a saved life.<br />
&nbsp;</p>

<p class="subtitle_brown"><em>Prayer</em></p>

<p class="normal_text">Holy Father, United to the oblation of your Son Jesus, I pray for all who are lowered and violated by the strong ones of this world. I present you this prayer by the maternal hands of Mary who in Fatima reminds that your heart is particularly with the small and humble.</p>
