St. Faustina's Way of the Cross
STATION 11: Jesus is Nailed to the Cross
We adore You, O Christ, and we praise You (or: We adore You, O Christ, and we bless You.)
BECAUSE BY YOUR HOLY CROSS, YOU HAVE REDEEMED THE WORLD.
A Reading from the Gospel According to Matthew
(Matthew 27: 39-43)
And those who passed by derided him, wagging their heads and saying, “You who would destroy the temple and build it in three days, save yourself! If you are the Son of God, come down from the cross.” So also the chief priests, with the scribes and elders, mocked him, saying, “He saved others; he cannot save himself. He is the King of Israel; let him come down now from the cross, and we will believe in him. He trusts in God; let God deliver him now if he desires him; for he said, ‘I am the Son of God.’”
Jesus: (celebrant reads)
My pupil, have great love for those who cause you suffering. Do good to those who hate you (1628).
St. Faustina: (all read)
O my Jesus, you know what efforts are needed to live sincerely and unaffectedly with those from whom our nature flees, or with those who, deliberately or not, have made us suffer. Humanly speaking, this is impossible. At such times more than at others, I try to discover the Lord Jesus in such a person and for the same Jesus, I do everything for such people (766).
All Read:
O purest Love, rule in all Your plenitude in my heart and help me to do Your holy will most faithfully (328).
Celebrant Reads:
You, who suffered wounds for us,
All Read:
Christ Jesus, have mercy on us.
Stabat Mater
Let me share with thee this pain,
Who for all my sins was slain,
Who for me in torments died.
