Stations of the Cross

The Stations of the Cross is a school of faith, the faith which by
its very nature “works through love” (Galatians 5:6).

Let us pray.

Brief pause in silence.

Jesus, innocent victim of sin,
receive us as companions on Your Paschal path,
which from death leads to life,
and teach us to live the time that we spend on earth
rooted in faith in You,
who have loved us and given Yourself up for us.
You are the Christ, the one Lord,
who live and reign for ever and ever. Amen.

The verse is said after each station is announced:

V. We adore You, O Christ, and we bless You.
R. Because by Your holy cross You have redeemed the world.

1. Jesus is condemned to death
2. Jesus takes up His cross
3. Jesus falls for the first time
4. Jesus meets His Mother
5. Jesus is helped by Simon the Cyrene to carry His cross
6. Veronica wipes the face of Jesus
7. Jesus falls for the second time
