Stations of the Cross

Closing Prayer 1

Prayer to Jesus Crucified

Behold, O kind and most sweet Jesus,

I cast myself on my knees in Your sight,

and with the most fervent desire of my soul,

I pray and beseech You

that You would impress upon my heart

lively sentiments of faith, hope, and charity, 

with a true repentance for my sins, 

and a firm desire of amendment,

while with deep affection and grief of soul, 

I ponder within myself and mentally contemplate

Your five most precious wounds;

having before my eyes 

that which David spoke in prophecy of You, O good Jesus:

“They pierced my hands

and my feet; 

they have numbered all my bones.”

Closing Prayer 2

Closing Prayer

Let us pray (briefly pause in silence)

Lord Jesus Christ,  by the power of the Holy Spirit, You were drawn by the Father from the darkness of death to the light of a new life in glory.  

Grant that the sign of the empty tomb may speak to us and to future generations and become a wellspring of living faith, generous love, and unshakeable hope.  

To you, O Jesus, Whose presence, hidden and victorious, fills the history of the world, be honour and glory forever and ever.  Amen.

Closing Prayer 3

Final Prayer

God has loved us from all eternity.

Before we existed, before He created us, 

before He created the world,

He loved each of us already.

From all eternity, God loves us.
