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, after Our Lord had died, He was taken down from the cross by two of His disciples, Joseph and Nicodemus, and placed in the arms of His afflicted Mother. She received Him with unutterable tenderness and pressed Him close to her bosom. (Kneel)

People– O Mother of Sorrows, > for the love of your Son, > accept me as your servant and pray to Him for me. > And You, my Redeemer, since You have died for me. >allow me to love You, > for I desire only You and nothing more. > I love You, Jesus my Love, > and I am sorry that I have offended You. > Never permit me to 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 disciples carried the body of Jesus to its burial, while His holy Mother went with them and arranged it in the sepulcher with her own hands. They then closed the tomb and all departed. (Kneel)

People– Oh, my buried Jesus, > I kiss the stone that closes You in. > But You gloriously did rise again on the third day. > I beg You by Your resurrection that I may be raised gloriously on the last day, > to be united with You in heaven, to praise You and love You forever. > I love You, Jesus, and I repent of ever having offended You. > Grant that I may love you always; and then do with me as You will.
