St. Faustina’s Way of the Cross
St. Faustina's Way of the Cross
Way of the Cross
Begin with the Sign of the Cross
In the Name of the Father, and of the Son, and of the Holy Spirit. Amen
An Act of Contrition
My God, I am sorry for my sins with all my heart. In choosing to do wrong and failing to do what is good, I have sinned against You, whom I should love above all things; I firmly intend, with Your help, to do penance, to sin no more, and to avoid whatever leads me to sin.
Opening Prayer
Merciful Lord, my Master, I want to follow You faithfully. I want to imitate You in my life in an ever more perfect way. That is why I ask that by meditating on Your Passion, You would grant me the grace of a deeper understanding of the mysteries of the spiritual life.
Mary, Mother of Mercy, always faithful to Christ, lead me in the footsteps of the sorrowful Passion of your Son and ask for me the necessary graces for a fruitful making of this Way of the Cross.
Stabat Mater
We included a copy of the melody line. After this page, we will just be posting the lyrics.
At the Cross her station keeping,
Stood the mournful Mother weeping,
Close to Jesus to the last.
