STATION 1: Pilate Condemns Jesus to Die
V. We adore You, O Christ, and we praise You (genuflect)
R. Because, by Your holy Cross, You have redeemed the world.
Priest or Leader: Consider how Jesus Christ, after being scourged and crowned with thorns, was unjustly condemned by Pilate to die on the cross.
- moment of silence -
All: My adorable Jesus, it was not Pilate; no, it was my sins that condemned You to die. I beseech You, by the merits of this sorrowful journey, to assist my soul on its journey to eternity. I love You, beloved Jesus; I love You more than I love myself. With all my heart I repent of ever having offended You. Grant that I may love You always; and then do with me as You will.
Through her heart, His sorrow sharing,
All His bitter anguish bearing,
Now at length, the sword has passed.
