The Way of the Cross
STATION 3: Jesus Falls for the First Time
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 Book of the Prophet Isaiah
(Isaiah 53: 3-4a)
- moment of silence -
V. Lord Jesus, Crucified.
R. HAVE MERCY ON US.
Stabat Mater
Christ above in torment hangs;
She beneath beholds the pangs,
Of her dying, glorious Son.
