The Way of the Cross
STATION 1: Jesus is Condemned to Death
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: 22-23, 26)
Pilate said to them, “Then what shall I do with Jesus who is called Christ?” They all said, “Let him be crucified.” And he said, “Why, what evil has he done?” But they shouted all the more, “Let him be crucified.”
Then he released for them Barabbas, and having scourged Jesus, delivered him to be crucified.
- moment of silence -
V. Lord Jesus, Crucified.
R. HAVE MERCY ON US.
Stabat Mater
Through her heart, His sorrow sharing,
All His bitter anguish bearing,
Now at length, the sword has passed.
