 APOSTLES' CREED

I BELIEVE IN GOD,
THE FATHER ALMIGHTY,
CREATOR OF HEAVEN AND EARTH,
AND IN JESUS CHRIST, HIS ONLY SON, OUR LORD,
WHO WAS CONCEIVED BY THE HOLY SPIRIT,
BORN OF THE VIRGIN MARY,
SUFFERED UNDER PONTIUS PILATE,
WAS CRUCIFIED, DIED AND WAS BURIED;
HE DESCENDED INTO HELL;
ON THE THIRD DAY HE ROSE AGAIN FROM THE
DEAD;
HE ASCENDED INTO HEAVEN,
AND IS SEATED AT THE RIGHT HAND OF GOD THE
FATHER ALMIGHTY;
FROM THERE HE WILL COME TO JUDGE THE LIVING
AND THE DEAD.
I BELIEVE IN THE HOLY SPIRIT,
THE HOLY CATHOLIC CHURCH,
THE COMMUNION OF SAINTS,
THE FORGIVENESS OF SINS,
THE RESURRECTION OF THE BODY,
AND LIFE EVERLASTING.
AMEN.

 NICENE CREED

THE FATHER ALMIGHTY,
MAKER OF HEAVEN AND EARTH,
OF ALL THINGS VISIBLE AND INVISIBLE.
I BELIEVE IN ONE LORD JESUS CHRIST,
THE ONLY BEGOTTEN SON OF GOD,
BORN OF THE FATHER BEFORE ALL AGES.
GOD FROM GOD, LIGHT FROM LIGHT,
TRUE GOD FROM TRUE GOD,
BEGOTTEN, NOT MADE, CONSUBSTANTIAL WITH THE FATHER;
THROUGH HIM ALL THINGS WERE MADE.
FOR US MEN AND FOR OUR SALVATION
HE CAME DOWN FROM HEAVEN,
AND BY THE HOLY SPIRIT WAS INCARNATE OF THE VIRGIN
MARY,
AND BECAME MAN.
FOR OUR SAKE HE WAS CRUCIFIED UNDER PONTIUS PILATE,
HE SUFFERED DEATH AND WAS BURIED,
AND ROSE AGAIN ON THE THIRD DAY
IN ACCORDANCE WITH THE SCRIPTURES.
HE ASCENDED INTO HEAVEN
AND IS SEATED AT THE RIGHT HAND OF THE FATHER.
HE WILL COME AGAIN IN GLORY
TO JUDGE THE LIVING AND THE DEAD
AND HIS KINGDOM WILL HAVE NO END.
I BELIEVE IN THE HOLY SPIRIT, THE LORD, THE GIVER OF LIFE,
WHO PROCEEDS FROM THE FATHER AND THE SON,
WHO WITH THE FATHER AND THE SON IS ADORED AND
GLORIFIED,
WHO HAS SPOKEN THROUGH THE PROPHETS.
I BELIEVE IN ONE, HOLY, CATHOLIC AND APOSTOLIC CHURCH.
I CONFESS ONE BAPTISM FOR THE FORGIVENESS OF SINS
AND I LOOK FORWARD TO THE RESURRECTION OF THE DEAD
AND THE LIFE OF THE WORLD TO COME.
AMEN.

 MAGNIFICAT
THE PRAYER OF MARY
MY SOUL PROCLAIMS THE GREATNESS OF THE LORD,
MY SPIRIT REJOICES IN GOD MY SAVIOR
FOR HE HAS LOOKED WITH FAVOR ON HIS LOWLY SERVANT.
FROM THIS DAY ALL GENERATIONS WILL CALL ME BLESSED:
THE ALMIGHTY HAS DONE GREAT THINGS FOR ME,
AND HOLY IS HIS NAME.
HE HAS MERCY ON THOSE WHO FEAR HIM
IN EVERY GENERATION.
HE HAS SHOWN THE STRENGTH OF HIS ARM,
HE HAS SCATTERED THE PROUD IN THEIR CONCEIT.
HE HAS CAST DOWN THE MIGHTY FROM THEIR THRONES,
AND HAS LIFTED UP THE LOWLY.
HE HAS FILLED THE HUNGRY WITH GOOD THINGS,
AND THE RICH HE HAS SENT AWAY EMPTY.
HE HAS COME TO THE HELP OF HIS SERVANT ISRAEL
FOR HE REMEMBERED HIS PROMISE OF MERCY,
THE PROMISE HE MADE TO OUR FATHERS,
TO ABRAHAM AND HIS CHILDREN FOREVER.
(LK 1: 46-55)

ANGEL, MAY BY HIS PASSION AND CROSS BE BROUGHT TO THE
GLORY OF HIS RESURRECTION. THROUGH THE SAME CHRIST OUR
LORD. AMEN.
 MEMORARE

REMEMBER, O MOST GRACIOUS VIRGIN MARY, THAT NEVER WAS IT

KNOWN THAT ANYONE WHO FLED TO THY PROTECTION, IMPLORED
THY HELP, OR SOUGHT THINE INTERCESSION WAS LEFT UNAIDED.
INSPIRED BY THIS CONFIDENCE, I FLY UNTO THEE, O VIRGIN OF
VIRGINS, MY MOTHER; TO THEE DO I COME, BEFORE THEE I STAND,
SINFUL AND SORROWFUL. O MOTHER OF THE WORD INCARNATE,
DESPISE NOT MY PETITIONS, BUT IN THY MERCY HEAR AND ANSWER
ME. AMEN.

 ACT OF CONTRITION
O MY GOD, I AM HEARTILY SORRY FOR HAVING OFFENDED THEE, AND
I DETEST ALL MY SINS BECAUSE OF THY JUST PUNISHMENTS, BUT
MOST OF ALL BECAUSE THEY OFFEND THEE, MY GOD, WHO ART ALL
GOOD AND DESERVING OF ALL MY LOVE. I FIRMLY RESOLVE WITH
THE HELP OF THY GRACE TO SIN NO MORE AND TO AVOID THE NEAR
OCCASION OF SIN. AMEN.

ACT OF FAITH
O MY GOD, I FIRMLY BELIEVE THAT YOU ARE ONE GOD IN THREE
DIVINE PERSONS, FATHER, SON, AND HOLY SPIRIT. I BELIEVE THAT
YOUR DIVINE SON BECAME MAN AND DIED FOR OUR SINS AND THAT
HE WILL COME TO JUDGE THE LIVING AND THE DEAD. I BELIEVE
THESE AND ALL THE TRUTHS WHICH THE HOLY CATHOLIC CHURCH
TEACHES BECAUSE YOU HAVE REVEALED THEM WHO ARE ETERNAL
TRUTH AND WISDOM, WHO CAN NEITHER DECEIVE NOR BE
DECEIVED. IN THIS FAITH I INTEND TO LIVE AND DIE. AMEN.

ACT OF HOPE
O LORD GOD, I HOPE BY YOUR GRACE FOR THE PARDON OF ALL MY
SINS AND AFTER LIFE HERE TO GAIN ETERNAL HAPPINESS BECAUSE
YOU HAVE PROMISED IT WHO ARE INFINITELY POWERFUL, FAITHFUL,
KIND, AND MERCIFUL. IN THIS HOPE I INTEND TO LIVE AND DIE. AMEN.

ACT OF LOVE
O LORD GOD, I LOVE YOU ABOVE ALL THINGS AND I LOVE MY
NEIGHBOR FOR YOUR SAKE BECAUSE YOU ARE THE HIGHEST,
INFINITE AND PERFECT GOOD, WORTHY OF ALL MY LOVE. IN THIS
LOVE I INTEND TO LIVE AND DIE. AMEN.

2. OPTIONAL OPENING PRAYERS

ST. FAUSTINA’S PRAYER FOR SINNERS
O JESUS, ETERNAL TRUTH, OUR LIFE, I CALL UPON YOU AND I BEG YOUR
MERCY FOR POOR SINNERS. O SWEETEST HEART OF MY LORD, FULL OF PITY
AND UNFATHOMABLE MERCY, I PLEAD WITH YOU FOR POOR SINNERS. O
MOST SACRED HEART, FOUNT OF MERCY FROM WHICH GUSH FORTH RAYS
OF INCONCEIVABLE GRACES UPON THE ENTIRE HUMAN RACE, I BEG OF YOU
LIGHT FOR POOR SINNERS. O JESUS, BE MINDFUL OF YOUR OWN BITTER
PASSION AND DO NOT PERMIT THE LOSS OF SOULS REDEEMED AT SO DEAR
A PRICE OF YOUR MOST PRECIOUS BLOOD. O JESUS, WHEN I CONSIDER THE
GREAT PRICE OF YOUR BLOOD, I REJOICE AT ITS IMMENSITY, FOR ONE DROP
ALONE WOULD HAVE BEEN ENOUGH FOR THE SALVATION OF ALL SINNERS.
ALTHOUGH SIN IS AN ABYSS OF WICKEDNESS AND INGRATITUDE, THE PRICE
PAID FOR US CAN NEVER BE EQUALLED. THEREFORE, LET EVERY SOUL TRUST
IN THE PASSION OF THE LORD, AND PLACE ITS HOPE IN HIS MERCY. GOD
WILL NOT DENY HIS MERCY TO ANYONE. HEAVEN AND EARTH MAY CHANGE,
BUT GOD'S MERCY WILL NEVER BE EXHAUSTED. OH, WHAT IMMENSE JOY
BURNS IN MY HEART WHEN I CONTEMPLATE YOUR INCOMPREHENSIBLE
GOODNESS, O JESUS! I DESIRE TO BRING ALL SINNERS TO YOUR FEET THAT
THEY MAY GLORIFY YOUR MERCY THROUGHOUT ENDLESS AGES (DIARY OF
SAINT MARIA FAUSTINA KOWALSKA, 72).

YOU EXPIRED, JESUS, BUT THE SOURCE OF LIFE GUSHED FORTH FOR SOULS,
AND THE OCEAN OF MERCY OPENED UP FOR THE WHOLE WORLD. O FOUNT
OF LIFE, UNFATHOMABLE DIVINE MERCY, ENVELOP THE WHOLE WORLD AND
EMPTY YOURSELF OUT UPON US.
(REPEAT THREE TIMES)

O BLOOD AND WATER, WHICH GUSHED FORTH FROM THE HEART OF JESUS
AS A FOUNT OF MERCY FOR US, I TRUST IN YOU!

 3. OUR FATHER
OUR FATHER, WHO ART IN HEAVEN, HALLOWED BE THY NAME; THY KINGDOM
COME; THY WILL BE DONE ON EARTH AS IT IS IN HEAVEN. GIVE US THIS DAY
OUR DAILY BREAD; AND FORGIVE US OUR TRESPASSES AS WE FORGIVE
THOSE WHO TRESPASS AGAINST US; AND LEAD US NOT INTO TEMPTATION,
BUT DELIVER US FROM EVIL, AMEN.
4. HAIL MARY
HAIL MARY, FULL OF GRACE. THE LORD IS WITH THEE. BLESSED ART THOU
AMONGST WOMEN, AND BLESSED IS THE FRUIT OF THY WOMB, JESUS. HOLY
MARY, MOTHER OF GOD, PRAY FOR US SINNERS, NOW AND AT THE HOUR OF
OUR DEATH, AMEN.
5. THE APOSTLES’ CREED
I BELIEVE IN GOD, THE FATHER ALMIGHTY, CREATOR OF HEAVEN AND EARTH,
AND IN JESUS CHRIST, HIS ONLY SON, OUR LORD, WHO WAS CONCEIVED BY
THE HOLY SPIRIT, BORN OF THE VIRGIN MARY, SUFFERED UNDER PONTIUS
PILATE, WAS CRUCIFIED, DIED AND WAS BURIED; HE DESCENDED INTO HELL;
ON THE THIRD DAY HE ROSE AGAIN FROM THE DEAD; HE ASCENDED INTO
HEAVEN, AND IS SEATED AT THE RIGHT HAND OF GOD THE FATHER
ALMIGHTY; FROM THERE HE WILL COME TO JUDGE THE LIVING AND THE
DEAD. I BELIEVE IN THE HOLY SPIRIT, THE HOLY CATHOLIC CHURCH, THE
COMMUNION OF SAINTS, THE FORGIVENESS OF SINS, THE RESURRECTION OF
THE BODY, AND LIFE EVERLASTING. AMEN.
6. THE ETERNAL FATHER
ETERNAL FATHER, I OFFER YOU THE BODY AND BLOOD, SOUL AND DIVINITY
OF YOUR DEARLY BELOVED SON, OUR LORD, JESUS CHRIST, IN ATONEMENT
FOR OUR SINS AND THOSE OF THE WHOLE WORLD.
7. ON THE 10 SMALL BEADS OF EACH DECADE
FOR THE SAKE OF HIS SORROWFUL PASSION, HAVE MERCY ON US AND ON
THE WHOLE WORLD.
8. REPEAT FOR THE REMAINING DECADES
SAYING THE "ETERNAL FATHER" (6) ON THE "OUR FATHER" BEAD AND THEN
10 "FOR THE SAKE OF HIS SORROWFUL PASSION" (7) ON THE FOLLOWING
"HAIL MARY" BEADS.
9. CONCLUDE WITH HOLY GOD (REPEAT THREE TIMES)
HOLY GOD, HOLY MIGHTY ONE, HOLY IMMORTAL ONE, HAVE MERCY ON US
AND ON THE WHOLE WORLD.
 10. OPTIONAL CLOSING PRAYERS
ETERNAL GOD, IN WHOM MERCY IS ENDLESS AND THE TREASURY OF
COMPASSION — INEXHAUSTIBLE, LOOK KINDLY UPON US AND INCREASE
YOUR MERCY IN US, THAT IN DIFFICULT MOMENTS WE MIGHT NOT DESPAIR
NOR BECOME DESPONDENT, BUT WITH GREAT CONFIDENCE SUBMIT
OURSELVES TO YOUR HOLY WILL, WHICH IS LOVE AND MERCY ITSELF.

O GREATLY MERCIFUL GOD, INFINITE GOODNESS, TODAY ALL MANKIND

CALLS OUT FROM THE ABYSS OF ITS MISERY TO YOUR MERCY — TO YOUR
COMPASSION, O GOD; AND IT IS WITH ITS MIGHTY VOICE OF MISERY THAT IT
CRIES OUT. GRACIOUS GOD, DO NOT REJECT THE PRAYER OF THIS EARTH'S
EXILES! O LORD, GOODNESS BEYOND OUR UNDERSTANDING, WHO ARE
ACQUAINTED WITH OUR MISERY THROUGH AND THROUGH, AND KNOW THAT
BY OUR OWN POWER WE CANNOT ASCEND TO YOU, WE IMPLORE YOU:
ANTICIPATE US WITH YOUR GRACE AND KEEP ON INCREASING YOUR MERCY
IN US, THAT WE MAY FAITHFULLY DO YOUR HOLY WILL ALL THROUGH OUR
LIFE AND AT DEATH'S HOUR. LET THE OMNIPOTENCE OF YOUR MERCY SHIELD
US FROM THE DARTS OF OUR SALVATION’S ENEMIES, THAT WE MAY WITH
CONFIDENCE, AS YOUR CHILDREN, AWAIT YOUR [SON’S] FINAL COMING —
THAT DAY KNOWN TO YOU ALONE. AND WE EXPECT TO OBTAIN EVERYTHING
PROMISED US BY JESUS IN SPITE OF ALL OUR WRETCHEDNESS. FOR JESUS IS
OUR HOPE: THROUGH HIS MERCIFUL HEART, AS THROUGH AN OPEN GATE, WE
PASS THROUGH TO HEAVEN (DIARY, 1570).

 WAY OF THE CROSS

PREPARATORY PRAYERS
O JESUS, OUR ADORABLE SAVIOUR, WE NOW CONTEMPLATE YOUR
SACRED PASSION. HELP US TO UNDERSTAND THAT THE SUFFERINGS
OF OUR LIFE ARE THE CONTINUATION OF YOUR PASSION. WE ASK
FOR STRENGTH OF OUR SOULS TO GO THROUGH OUR PASSION, IN
THE SPIRIT WITH WHICH YOU WENT THROUGH YOURS. AMEN.
STATION 1 – JESUS IS CONDEMNED TO DEATH
LEADER: WE ADORE YOU, O CHRIST, AND WE BLESS YOU.
ALL: BECAUSE BY YOUR HOLY CROSS, YOU HAVE REDEEMED THE
WORLD.
LEAVING THE HOUSE OF CAIAPHAS, WHERE HE HAD BEEN
BLASPHEMED, AND THE HOUSE OF HEROD, WHERE HE HAD BEEN
BEEN MOCKED, JESUS IS DRAGGED BEFORE PILATE, HIS BACK TORN
WITH SCOURGES, HIS HEAD CROWNED WITH THORNS; AND HE, WHO
ON THE LAST DAY WILL JUDGE THE LIVING AND THE DEAD, IS
HIMSELF CONDEMNED TO A DISGRACEFUL DEATH.
PRAYER
IT WAS FOR US THAT YOU DID SUFFER, O BLESSED JESUS. IT WAS FOR
OUR SINS THAT YOU WERE CONDEMNED TO DIE. OH, GRANT THAT WE
MAY DETEST OUR SINS FROM THE BOTTOM OF OUR HEARTS, AND
OBTAIN YOUR MERCY AND PARDON BY REPENTANCE.
OUR FATHER IN HEAVEN
HAIL MARY
GLORY BE
LEADER: HAVE MERCY ON US, O LORD.
ALL: HAVE MERCY ON US.

 STATION 2 – JESUS IS LADEN WITH THE CROSS

LEADER: WE ADORE YOU, O CHRIST, AND WE BLESS YOU.
ALL: BECAUSE BY YOUR HOLY CROSS, YOU HAVE REDEEMED THE
WORLD.
A HEAVY CROSS IS LAID UPON THE BRUISED SHOULDERS OF JESUS.
HE RECEIVES IT WITH MEEKNESS AND WITH A SENSE OF
COMMITMENT, FOR IT IS THE INSTRUMENT WITH WHICH HE IS TO
REDEEM THE WORLD AND TO ACCOMPLISH THE MISSION FOR WHICH
HIS HEAVENLY FATHER HAS SENT HIM.
PRAYER
O JESUS, GRANT US, BY VIRTUE OF YOUR CROSS, TO EMBRACE WITH
MEEKNESS AND CHEERFUL SUBMISSION THE DIFFICULTIES OF OUR
LIFE, AND TO BE EVER READY TO TAKE UP OUR CROSS AND FOLLOW
YOU.
OUR FATHER IN HEAVEN
HAIL MARY
GLORY BE
LEADER: HAVE MERCY ON US, O LORD.
ALL: HAVE MERCY ON US.

STATION 3 – JESUS FALLS FOR THE FIRST TIME

LEADER: WE ADORE YOU, O CHRIST, AND WE BLESS YOU.
ALL: BECAUSE BY YOUR HOLY CROSS, YOU HAVE REDEEMED THE
WORLD.
BOWED DOWN UNDER THE WEIGHT OF THE CROSS, JESUS SLOWLY
SETS FORTH ON THE WAY TO CALVARY, AMIDST THE MOCKERIES AND
INSULTS OF THE CROWD. HIS AGONY IN THE GARDEN HAS
EXHAUSTED HIS BODY. HE IS LACERATED WITH BLOWS AND
WOUNDS; HIS STRENGTH FAILS HIM. HE FALLS TO THE GROUND
UNDER HIS CROSS.
PRAYER
O JESUS, WHO FOR OUR SINS DID BEAR THE HEAVY BURDEN OF THE
CROSS AND DID FALL UNDER ITS WEIGHT, MAY THE THOUGHTS OF
YOUR SUFFERING MAKE US WATCHFUL OVER OURSELVES AND SAVE
US FROM ANY GRIEVOUS FALL INTO SIN.
OUR FATHER IN HEAVEN
HAIL MARY
GLORY BE
LEADER: HAVE MERCY ON US, O LORD.
ALL: HAVE MERCY ON US.

 STATION 4 – JESUS MEETS HIS BLESSED MOTHER

LEADER: WE ADORE YOU, O CHRIST, AND WE BLESS YOU.
ALL: BECAUSE BY YOUR HOLY CROSS, YOU HAVE REDEEMED THE WORLD.
STILL BURDENED WITH HIS CROSS, AND WOUNDED YET MORE BY HIS FALL,
JESUS PROCEEDS ON HIS WAY. HE IS MET BY HIS LOVING MOTHER. WHAT A
MEETING MUST HAVE THAT BEEN! WHAT A SWORD OF ANGUISH MUST HAVE
PIERCED THE MOTHER’S HEART! WHAT MUST HAVE BEEN THE COMPASSION
OF THAT SON FOR HIS HOLY MOTHER!
PRAYER
O JESUS, BY THE COMPASSION WHICH YOU DID FEEL FOR YOU MOTHER,
HAVE COMPASSION ON US, AND GIVE US A SHARE IN HER INTERCESSION. O
MARY, MOST AFFLICTED MOTHER, INTERCEDE FOR US THAT, THROUGH THE
SUFFERINGS OF YOUR SON, WE MAY BE DELIVERED FROM ETERNAL DEATH.
OUR FATHER IN HEAVEN
HAIL MARY
GLORY BE
LEADER: HAVE MERCY ON US, O LORD.
ALL: HAVE MERCY ON US.

STATION 5 – SIMON OF CYRENE HELPS JESUS TO CARRY THE CROSS

LEADER: WE ADORE YOU, O CHRIST, AND WE BLESS YOU.
ALL: BECAUSE BY YOUR HOLY CROSS, YOU HAVE REDEEMED THE WORLD.
AS THE STRENGTH OF JESUS FAILS, AND HE IS UNABLE TO PROCEED, THE
EXECUTIONERS SEIZE AND COMPEL SIMON OF CYRENE TO CARRY HIS
CROSS. THE GRACE OF THAT CROSS CHANGES THE CYRENEAN’S HEART AND
FROM THE COMPULSORY TASK, IT BECOMES A PRIVILEGE AND JOY.
PRAYER
O LORD JESUS, MAY IT BE OUR PRIVILEGE TO BEAR OUR CROSS. MAY WE
GLORY IN NOTHING ELSE; BY THE CROSS, MAY THE WORLD BE CRUCIFIED
UNTO US, AND WE UNTO THE WORLD. MAY WE NEVER SHRINK FROM
SUFFERING BUT RATHER REJOICE IF WE SHOULD BE COUNTED WORTHY TO
SUFFER FOR YOUR NAME’S SAKE.
OUR FATHER IN HEAVEN
HAIL MARY
GLORY BE
LEADER: HAVE MERCY ON US, O LORD.
ALL: HAVE MERCY ON US.
 STATION 6 – VERONICA WIPES THE FACE OF JESUS
LEADER: WE ADORE YOU, O CHRIST, AND WE BLESS YOU.
ALL: BECAUSE BY YOUR HOLY CROSS, YOU HAVE REDEEMED THE WORLD.
AS JESUS PROCEEDS ALONG THE WAY COVERED WITH THE SWEAT OF
BLOOD, A WOMAN, MOVED WITH COMPASSION, MAKES HER WAY THROUGH
THE CROWD, AND WIPES HIS FACE WITH A HANDKERCHIEF. AS A REWARD
FOR HER PIETY, THE IMPRESSION OF HIS SACRED COUNTENANCE IS
MIRACULOUSLY IMPRINTED UPON THE HANDKERCHIEF.
PRAYER
O JESUS, MAY THE CONTEMPLATION OF YOUR SUFFERINGS MOVE US WITH
DEEP COMPASSION. MAKE US HATE OUR SINS AND KINDLE IN OUR HEARTS,
MORE FERVENT LOVE FOR YOU. MAY YOUR IMAGE BE GRAVEN ON OUR
MINDS UNTIL WE ARE TRANSFORMED INTO YOUR LIKENESS.
OUR FATHER IN HEAVEN
HAIL MARY
GLORY BE
LEADER: HAVE MERCY ON US, O LORD.
ALL: HAVE MERCY ON US.

STATION 7 – JESUS FALLS BENEATH HIS CROSS, THE SECOND TIME

LEADER: WE ADORE YOU, O CHRIST, AND WE BLESS YOU.
ALL: BECAUSE BY YOUR HOLY CROSS, YOU HAVE REDEEMED THE WORLD.
THE PAIN OF HIS WOUNDS; AND THE LOSS OF BLOOD INCREASING AT EVERY
STEP OF HIS WAY, WEAKENS HIM; AND JESUS FALLS TO THE GROUND FOR
THE SECOND TIME.
PRAYER
O JESUS, WHO DID FALL A SECOND TIME BENEATH THE LOAD OF OUR SINS
AND OF YOUR SUFFERING FOR OUR SINS, HOW OFTEN HAVE WE GRIEVED
YOU BY OUR REPEATED FALLS INTO SIN! OH, MAY WE RATHER DIE THAN
EVER OFFEND YOU!
OUR FATHER IN HEAVEN
HAIL MARY
GLORY BE
LEADER: HAVE MERCY ON US, O LORD.
ALL: HAVE MERCY ON US.
 STATION 8 – JESUS CONSOLES THE WOMEN OF JERUSALEM
LEADER: WE ADORE YOU, O CHRIST, AND WE BLESS YOU.
ALL: BECAUSE BY YOUR HOLY CROSS, YOU HAVE REDEEMED THE WORLD.
AT THE SIGHT OF THE SUFFERINGS OF JESUS, SOME HOLY WOMEN IN THE
CROWD WERE SO TOUCHED WITH SYMPATHY THAT THEY OPENLY
BEWAILED AND LAMENTED FOR HIM. JESUS, KNOWING THE THINGS THAT
WOULD BEFALL JERUSALEM BECAUSE OF ITS REJECTION OF HIM, TURNED
TO THEM AND SAID, “DAUGHTERS OF JERUSALEM, WEEP FOR YOURSELVES
AND FOR YOUR CHILDREN”.
PRAYER
O JESUS, WE MOURN AND WILL ALWAYS MOURN FOR YOU AND FOR
OURSELVES, FOR YOUR SUFFERINGS AND FOR OUR SINS WHICH CAUSED
THEM. OH, TEACH US TO MOURN, SO THAT WE MAY REPENT AND BE SAVED
FROM THE DREADFUL END TO THOSE WHO REJECT OR NEGLECT YOU, THEIR
GOD AND THEIR ALL.
OUR FATHER IN HEAVEN
HAIL MARY
GLORY BE
LEADER: HAVE MERCY ON US, O LORD.
ALL: HAVE MERCY ON US.

STATION 9 – JESUS FALLS BENEATH HIS CROSS THE THIRD TIME

LEADER: WE ADORE YOU, O CHRIST, AND WE BLESS YOU.
ALL: BECAUSE BY YOUR HOLY CROSS, YOU HAVE REDEEMED THE WORLD.
JESUS HAS ALMOST ARRIVED AT THE SUMMIT OF CALVARY, BUT BEFORE HE
REACHES THE SPOT WHERE HE IS TO BE CRUCIFIED, HIS STRENGTH AGAIN
FAILS HIM, AND HE FALLS THE THIRD TIME.
PRAYER
O JESUS, WE ENTREAT YOU BY THE MERIT OF THIS YOUR THIRD AND MOST
PAINFUL FALL, TO PARDON OUR FREQUENT RELAPSES AND OUR LONG
CONTINUANCE IN SIN. MAY THE THOUGHT OF YOUR SUFFERINGS MAKE US
HATE OUR SINS MORE AND MORE.
OUR FATHER IN HEAVEN
HAIL MARY
GLORY BE
LEADER: HAVE MERCY ON US, O LORD.
ALL: HAVE MERCY ON US.
 STATION 10 – JESUS IS STRIPPED OF HIS GARMENTS
LEADER: WE ADORE YOU, O CHRIST, AND WE BLESS YOU.
ALL: BECAUSE BY YOUR HOLY CROSS, YOU HAVE REDEEMED THE WORLD.
JESUS AT LAST ARRIVES AT GOLGOTHA AND THEY PREPARE TO CRUCIFY
HIM. THEY STRIP HIM OF HIS GARMENTS AND MOCK HIM.
PRAYER
O JESUS, STRIP US OF ALL FALSE ESTEEM, CONCEIT AND PRIDE AND MAKE
US HUMBLE LIKE YOU IN THIS LIFE, SO THAT WE SHARE YOUR GLORY WITH
YOU IN THE LIFE TO COME.
OUR FATHER IN HEAVEN
HAIL MARY
GLORY BE
LEADER: HAVE MERCY ON US, O LORD.
ALL: HAVE MERCY ON US.

STATION 11 – JESUS IS NAILED TO THE CROSS

LEADER: WE ADORE YOU, O CHRIST, AND WE BLESS YOU.
ALL: BECAUSE BY YOUR HOLY CROSS, YOU HAVE REDEEMED THE WORLD.
THE CROSS IS LAID UPON THE GROUND AND JESUS IS STRETCHED UPON
HIS BED OF DEATH. WITH DIVINE DIGNITY AND FORGIVENESS, HE LETS
HIMSELF BE NAILED TO THE CROSS. THE BLOWS ARE STRUCK! THE BLOOD
GUSHES FORTH!
PRAYER
O JESUS, NAILED TO THE CROSS, FASTEN OUR HEARTS TO THE CROSS, SO
THAT WE MAY BE UNITED WITH YOU UNTIL WE YIELD UP OUR SOULS TO
YOU.
OUR FATHER IN HEAVEN
HAIL MARY

 STATION 12 – JESUS DIES ON THE CROSS
LEADER: WE ADORE YOU, O CHRIST, AND WE BLESS YOU.
ALL: BECAUSE BY YOUR HOLY CROSS, YOU HAVE REDEEMED THE WORLD.
FOR THREE HOURS, JESUS HAS HUNG UPON HIS PIERCED HANDS. HIS
BLOOD HAS RUN IN STREAMS DOWN HIS BODY, AND ONTO THE GROUND. IN
THE MIDST OF EXCRUCIATING SUFFERING, HE HAS PARDONED HIS
MURDERERS, GIVEN HEAVEN TO THE GOOD THIEF, AND COMMITTED HIS
BLESSED MOTHER TO HIS BELOVED DISCIPLE’S CARE. HIS MISSION OF LOVE
HAS BEEN ACCOMPLISHED. HE BOWS HIS HEAD AND GIVES UP HIS SPIRIT
TO GOD.
PRAYER
O JESUS, WE DEVOUTLY EMBRACE YOUR SAVING CROSS, ON WHICH YOU
DIED SO THAT WE MAY HAVE ETERNAL LIFE. WE HAIL YOUR CROSS, AND
LOVINGLY ACCEPT OUR OWN.

STATION 13 – JESUS IS TAKEN DOWN FROM THE CROSS

LEADER: WE ADORE YOU, O CHRIST, AND WE BLESS YOU.
ALL: BECAUSE BY YOUR HOLY CROSS, YOU HAVE REDEEMED THE WORLD.
THE MULTITUDES HAVE LEFT THE HILL OF CALVARY. THERE IS NO ONE
EXCEPT THE BELOVED DISCIPLE OF JESUS AND THE HOLY WOMEN WITH
MARY, THE MOTHER OF JESUS. JOSEPH OF ARIMATHEA AND NICODEMUS
TAKE DOWN THE BODY OF JESUS FROM THE CROSS AND PLACE HIM IN THE
ARMS OF HIS AFFLICTED MOTHER.
PRAYER
O MARY, MOTHER OF JESUS, YOUR GRIEF WAS SO GREAT, BEING A
HELPLESS WITNESS TO THE SAVAGE WAY YOUR SON WAS PUT TO DEATH. BY
HIS DEATH AND RESURRECTION, WE HAVE BECOME YOUR CHILDREN IN
JESUS. HELP US BY YOUR INTERCESSION TO BE LIKE YOUR SON JESUS.

HAIL MARY

 STATION 14 – JESUS IS LAID IN THE HOLY SEPULCHRE
LEADER: WE ADORE YOU, O CHRIST, AND WE BLESS YOU.
ALL: BECAUSE BY YOUR HOLY CROSS, YOU HAVE REDEEMED THE WORLD.
THE DISCIPLES TAKE THE BODY OF HER DEAR BELOVED SON JESUS FROM
HIS MOTHER, AND PLACE IT IN THE TOMB. THE TOMB IS CLOSED AND IN IT
THE LIFELESS BODY REMAINS UNTIL THE HOUR OF ITS GLORIOUS
RESURRECTION.
PRAYER
LORD, YOUR SUFFERING IS OVER. YOU HAVE TRIUMPHED, THOUGH IN THE
EYES OF MEN, YOU MAY SEEM TO HAVE FAILED. SIN, DEATH AND HELL HAVE
BEEN CONQUERED. THE WORLD IS YOURS, I AM YOURS. BE THE KING OF MY
HEART. I SURRENDER MYSELF TO YOUR HOLY WILL. MAY YOUR KINGDOM
COME.

HAIL MARY

CONCLUDING PRAYER
HEAVENLY FATHER, WE HAVE CONTEMPLATED YOUR SON, JESUS, ON HIS
WAY OF THE CROSS, IN HIS SPIRIT WHICH YOU HAVE GIFTED TO US. WE
ACCEPT OUR WAY OF THE CROSS. WE KNOW IT WILL LEAD US TO, WHERE IT
LED HIM TO, OUR RESURRECTION WITH HIM. WE THANK YOU FOR THE JOY
OF THIS VISION OF FAITH.
FOR THE INTENTION OF THE HOLY FATHER,
OUR FATHER IN HEAVEN
