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
