STATION 8: Jesus Comforts the Women of Jerusalem
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 23: 27-28)
And there followed him a great multitude of the people, and of women who bewailed and lamented him. But Jesus turning to them said, “Daughters of Jerusalem, do not weep for me, but weep for yourselves and for your children.

V. Lord Jesus, Crucified.
R. HAVE MERCY ON US.
Stabat Mater
O thou Mother! Fount of love!
Touch my spirit from above,
Make my heart with thine accord.
