STATION I.
Jesus is condemned to Death.
V. We adore thee, O Christ, and praise thee [Genuflect.]
R. Because by thy holy Cross, thou hast redeemed the world.
CONSIDER how Jesus, after having been scourged and crowned with thorns, was unjustly condemned by Pilate to, die on the Cross.
My adorable Jesus, it was not Pilate; no, it was my sins that condemned thee to die. I beseech thee, by the merits of this sorrowful journey, to assist my soul in her journey towards eternity. I love thee, my beloved Jesus; I love thee more than myself. I repent with my whole heart of having offended thee. Never permit me to separate myself from thee again. Grant that I may love thee always; and then do with me what thou wilt.
Pater , Ave , Gloria.
STATION II.
Jesus is made to carry his Cross.
V. We adore thee, &c.
CONSIDER how Jesus, in making this journey with the Cross on his shoulders, thought of us, and offered for us, to his Father, the death he was about to undergo.
My most beloved Jesus, I embrace all the tribulations thou hast destined for me until death. I beseech thee, by the merits of the pain thou didst suffer in carrying thy Cross, to give me the necessary help to carry mine with perfect patience and resignation. I love thee, Jesus, my love, above all things.
I repent, [as at the end of First Station.]
Pater , Ave, Gloria.
