The Stations of the Cross or the Way of the Cross, also known as the Way of Sorrows or the Via Crucis, refers to a series of images depicting Jesus Christ on the day of his crucifixion and accompanying prayers.

The First Station

Pilate Condemns Jesus to Die

V: We adore You, O Christ, and we praise You. (Genuflect)

R: Because, by Your holy cross, You have redeemed the world. (Rise)

V: Consider how Jesus Christ, after being scourged and crowned with thorns, was unjustly condemned by

Pilate to die on the cross. (Kneel)

R: My adorable Jesus, / it was not Pilate; / no, it was my sins that condemned You to die. / 1 beseech You,

by the merits of this sorrowful journey, / to assist my soul on its journey to eternity./ 1 love You, beloved

Jesus; / I love You more than I love myself. / With all my heart I repent of ever having offended You. /

Grant that I may love You always; and then do with me as You will.

Our Father, Hail Mary, Glory be

Through her heart, His sorrow sharing All His bitter anguish bearing Now at length the sword has passed

The Second Station

Jesus Accepts His Cross

V: We adore You, O Christ, and we praise You. (Genuflect)

R: Because, by Your holy cross, You have redeemed the world. (Rise)

V: Consider Jesus as He walked this road with the cross on His shoulders, thinking of us, and offering to

His Father in our behalf, the death He was about to suffer. (Kneel)

R: My most beloved Jesus, / 1 embrace all the sufferings You have destined for me until death. /I beg You,

by all You suffered in carrying Your cross, / to help me carry mine with Your perfect peace and

resignation. / 1 love You, Jesus, my love; / 1 repent of ever having offended You. /Never let me separate

myself from You again. / Grant that I may love You always; and then do with me as You will.

Our Father, Hail Mary, Glory be

O, how sad and sore depressed Was that Mother highly blessed Of the sole Begotten One

The Third Station

Jesus Falls the First Time

V: We adore You, O Christ, and we praise You. (Genuflect)

R: Because, by Your holy cross, You have redeemed the world. (Rise)

V: Consider the first fall of Jesus. Loss of blood from the scourging and crowing with thorns had so

weakened Him that He could hardly walk; and yet He had to carry that great load upon His shoulders. As

the soldiers struck Him cruelly, He fell several times under the heavy cross. (Kneel)

R: My beloved Jesus, / it was not the weight of the cross / but the weight of my sins which made You

suffer so much. / By the merits of this first fall, / save me from falling into mortal sin. / I love You, O my

Jesus, with all my heart; / 1 am sorry that I have offended You. / May I never offend You again. / Grant

that I may love You always; and then do with me as You will.

Our Father, Hail Mary, Glory be

Christ above in torment hangs She beneath beholds the pangs Of her dying, glorious Son

The Fourth Station

Jesus Meets His Afflicted Mother

V: We adore You, O Christ, and we praise You. (Genuflect)

R: Because, by Your holy cross, You have redeemed the world. (Rise)

V: Consider how the Son met his Mother on His way to Calvary. Jesus and Mary gazed at each other and

their looks became as so many arrows to wound those hearts which loved each other so tenderly (Kneel)

R: My most loving Jesus, / by the pain You suffered in this meeting / grant me the grace of being truly

devoted to Your most holy Mother. / And You, my Queen, who was overwhelmed with sorrow, / obtain

for me by Your prayers / a tender and a lasting remembrance of the passion of Your divine Son. / I love

You, Jesus, my Love, above all things. / I repent of ever having offended You. / Never allow me to offend.
