STATION 4: Jesus Meets His Mother
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 Luke
(Luke 2: 34-35)
And Simeon blessed them and said to Mary his mother, “Behold, this child is set for the fall and rising of many in Israel, and for a sign that is spoken against (and a sword will pierce through your own soul also), that thoughts out of many hearts may be revealed.”

V. Lord Jesus, Crucified.
R. HAVE MERCY ON US.
Stabat Mater
Is there one who would not weep,
‘Whelmed in miseries so deep,
Christ’s dear Mother to behold?
