STATION 2: Jesus Accepts His Cross
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 Jesus as He walked this road with the cross on His shoulders, thinking of us, and offering to His Father in our behalf, the death He was about to suffer.
- moment of silence -
All: My most beloved Jesus, I embrace all the sufferings You have destined for me until death. I beg You, by all You suffered in carrying Your cross, to help me carry mine with Your perfect peace and resignation. I love You, Jesus, my love; I repent of ever having offended You. Never let me separate myself from You again. Grant that I may love You always; and then do with me as You will.
O, how sad and sore distressed,
Was that Mother highly blessed,
of the sole-begotten One.
