Stations of the Cross 

Priest– We adore You, O Christ, and we Praise You.

(Genuflect)

People– Because, by your holy cross, you have redeemed the world. (Rise)

Priest– Consider how the second fall of Jesus under His cross renews the pain in all the wounds of the head and members of our afflicted Lord. (Kneel)

People– My most gentle Jesus, > how many times You have forgiven me; > and how many times I have fallen again and begun again to offend You! > By the merits of this second fall, > give me the grace to persevere in Your love until death. > Grant, that in all my temptations, I may always have recourse to You. > I love You, Jesus, my Love, with all my heart; > I am sorry that I have offended You. > Never let me offend You again. > Grant that I may love you always; and then do with me as You will.

(Optional: Our Father, hail Mary and Glory be.)

People– Because, by your holy cross, you have redeemed the world. (Rise)

Priest– Consider how the women wept with compassion seeing Jesus so distressed and dripping with blood as he walked along. Jesus said to them, “Weep not so much for me, but rather for your children.” (Kneel)

People– My Jesus, laden with sorrows, > I weep for the sins which I have committed against You > because of the punishment I deserve for them; > and, still more, because of the displeasure they have caused You > who have loved me with an infinite love. > It is Your love, more than the fear of hell, > which makes me weep for my sins. > My Jesus, I love You more than myself; > I am sorry that I have offended You. > Never allow me to offend You again. > Grant that I may love you always; and then do with me as You will.
