St. Faustina’s Way of the Cross

St. Faustina's Way of the Cross

Painting of Ecce Homo by Murillo for stations of the Cross
The Stations of the Cross represent the sorrowful journey that Jesus made with His cross to die on Calvary.   
St. Faustina’s Way of the Cross has quotes from her diary at each station. Her community in Poland added them to the traditional devotion.

St. Faustina's Way of the Cross

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.

Pray the Stations of the Cross, Stabat Mater music

At the Cross her station keeping,

Pray the Stations of the Cross, Stabat Mater music

Stood the mournful Mother weeping,

Pray the Stations of the Cross, Stabat Mater music

Close to Jesus to the last.
