The Way of the Cross
STATION 5: Simon of Cyrene Helps Jesus Carry the 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: 32)
As they were marching out, they came upon a man of Cyrene, Simon by name; this man they compelled to carry his cross.
- moment of silence -
V. Lord Jesus, Crucified.
R. HAVE MERCY ON US.
Stabat Mater
Can the human heart refrain
From partaking in her pain,
In that Mother’s pain untold?
