STATION 2: Jesus Takes Up His 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: 27-31)
Then the soldiers of the governor took Jesus into the praetorium, and they gathered the whole battalion before him. And they stripped him and put a scarlet robe upon him, and plaiting a crown of thorns they put it on his head and put a reed in his right hand. Kneeling before him they mocked him, saying, “Hail, King of the Jews!” They spat upon him and took the reed and struck him on the head. And when they had mocked him, they stripped him of the robe, and put his own clothes on him, and led him away to crucify him.

Stabat Mater
O, how sad and sore distressed
Was that Mother highly blessed
of the sole-begotten One.
