Stations of the Cross, also called Way of the Cross, a series of 14 pictures or carvings portraying events in the Passion of Christ, from his condemnation by Pontius Pilate to his entombment. The series of stations is as follows: (1) Jesus is condemned to death, (2) he is made to bear his cross, (3) he falls the first time, (4) he meets his mother, (5) Simon of Cyrene is made to bear the cross, (6) Veronica wipes Jesus’ face, (7) he falls the second time, (8) the women of Jerusalem weep over Jesus, (9) he falls the third time, (10) he is stripped of his garments, (11) he is nailed to the cross, (12) he dies on the cross, (13) he is taken down from the cross, and (14) he is placed in the sepulchre. The images are usually mounted on the inside walls of a church or chapel but may also be erected in such places as cemeteries, corridors of hospitals and religious houses, or on mountainsides. The devotional exercise of visiting and praying in front of each of the 14 stations and meditating on the Passion of Christ stems from the practice of early Christian pilgrims who visited the scenes of the events in Jerusalem and walked the traditional route from the supposed location of Pilate’s house to Calvary. Tradition holds that Mary, the mother of Jesus, set up stone markers at her home outside Jerusalem to prayerfully retrace the steps of her son’s Passion, but the origin of the devotion in its present form is not clear. The number of stations originally observed in Jerusalem was considerably smaller than 14. In the early 16th century, Ways of the Cross were established in Europe, and the tradition of 14 stations probably derived from the best known of them, that at Leuven (1505). The Franciscans long popularized the practice, and in the 18th century they bowed to Western Christian devotional feeling and provided 14 stations in Jerusalem. The traditional stations have been recently supplemented with the Via Lucis (the Way of Light), in which the meditations focus on the resurrected Christ. Prayerful meditation through the Stations of the Cross is especially common during Lent and on Fridays throughout the year, in commemoration of Christ’s Crucifixion on Good Friday. The devotion may be done individually or in a group and is particularly important in Roman Catholic, Anglican, and Lutheran traditions. Each station is commonly visited with some variation of the prayer “We adore you, O Christ, and we bless you. Because by your holy cross you have redeemed the world” and with a reading from a relevant passage of Scripture. Both St. Francis of Assisi and St. Alphonso Maria de’ Liguori wrote devotional guides for the Stations of the Cross that remain popular.

since the beginning of Lent until now we
have prepared our hearts by penance and
charitable
works. Today we gather together to
herald with the whole Church the
beginning of the celebration of our Lord’s
Paschal Mystery,
that is to say, of his Passion

accomplish this mystery that he entered
his own city of Jerusalem. Therefore, with
all faith and
devotion, let us commemorate the Lord’s
entry into the city for our salvation,
following in his
footsteps, so that, being made by his
grace partakers of the Cross, we may

Who lives and reigns for ever and ever.

Let us pray (pause):
Almighty ever-living God,
who as an example of humility for the human race to follow

and so merit a share in his Resurrection.
Who lives and reigns with you in the unity of the Holy Spirit,
one God, for ever and ever. Amen.

trained tongue, that I might know how
to speak to the weary a word that will
rouse them. Morning after morning he
opens my ear that I may hear; and I have
not rebelled, have not turned back. I
gave my back to those who beat me, my
cheeks to those

not shield from buffets and spitting. The
Lord God is my help, therefore I am not
disgraced; I have set my face like flint,
knowing that I shall not be put to shame.

26. PHIL 2:6-11

27. CHRIST JESUS, though he was in the form of
God, did not regard equality with God
something to be grasped. Rather, he
emptied himself, taking the form of a slave,
coming in human likeness, and found
human in appearance, he humbled himself,
becoming obedient to the point of death,
even death on a cross.

28. Because of this, God greatly exalted him and
bestowed on him the name which is above
every name, that at the name of Jesus every
knee should bend, of those in heaven and on
earth and under the earth, and every tongue
confess that Jesus Christ is Lord, to the glory of
God the Father.
—The word of the Lord.
All—Thanks be to God.

GOSPEL ACCLAMATION:

33. The Passion of our Lord Jesus
Christ according to Luke
N—The elders of the people, chief
priests, and scribes, arose and brought
Jesus before Pilate. They brought
charges against him,
saying,

34. C — “WE FOUND THIS MAN
MISLEADING OUR PEOPLE; HE
OPPOSES THE PAYMENT OF
TAXES TO CAESAR AND
MAINTAINS THAT HE IS THE
CHRIST, A KING.”

35. P—“Are you the king of the
Jews?”
N—He said to him in reply,
J—“You say so.”
N—Pilate then addressed the
chief
priest and the crowds,

36. N—But they were adamant and said,
C—“HE IS INCITING THE PEOPLE WITH HIS
TEACHING THROUGHOUT ALL JUDEA, FROM
GALILEE WHERE HE BEGAN EVEN TO HERE.”
N—On hearing this Pilate asked if the man
was a Galilean; and upon learning he was
under Herod’s
jurisdiction, he sent him to Herod, who was
in Jerusalem at that time. Herod was very
glad to see Jesus; he had been wanting to see

37. time, for he had heard about him and had been
hoping to see him perform some sign. He
questioned him at length, but he gave him no
answer. The chief priest and scribes, meanwhile,
stood by, accusing him harshly. Herod and his
soldiers treated him contemptuously and mocked
him, and after clothing him in resplendent garb,
he sent him back to Pilate. Herod and Pilate
became friends that very day, even though they
had been enemies formerly. Pilate then
summoned the chief priests, the rulers, and the

38. P—”You brought this man to me and
accused him of inciting the people to
revolt. I have conducted my
investigation in your presence and have
not found this man guilty of the charges
you have brought against him, nor did
Herod, for he sent him back to us. So no
capital crime has been committed by
him. Therefore I shall have him flogged

39. N—But all together they shouted out,
C — “AWAY WITH THIS MAN! RELEASE
BARABBAS TO US. “
N—Now Barabbas had been imprisoned for a
rebellion that had taken place in the city and
for murder. Again Pilate addressed them, still
wishing to release Jesus, but they
continuedtheir
C—“CRUCIFY HIM! CRUCIFY HIM!”
N—Pilate addressed them a third time,

40. P—”What evil has this man done? I found
him guilty of no capital crime. Therefore I
shall have him flogged and then release
him.”
N—With loud shouts, however, they
persisted in calling for his crucifixion, and
their voices
prevailed. The verdict of Pilate was that
their demand should be granted. So he

41. rebellion and murder, for whom they asked,
and he handed Jesus over to them to deal with
as they wished. As they led him away they took
hold of a certain Simon, a Cyrenian, who was
coming in from the country; and after laying
the cross on him, they made him carry it
behind Jesus. A large crowd of people
followed Jesus, including many women who
mourned and lamented him. Jesus turned to
them and said,

42. J—Daughters of Jerusalem, do not weep for
me; weep instead for yourselves and for your
children, for indeed, the days are coming when
people will say, “Blessed are the barren, the
wombs that never bore and the breast that
never nursed.”
At that time people will say to the mountains,
“Fall upon us!” and to the hills, “Cover us!” for
if these
things are done when the wood is green, what

43. N—Now two others, both criminals,
were led away with him to be executed.
When they came to the place they
called the Skull, they crucified him and
the criminals there, one on his right, the
other on his left. Then Jesus said,

44. J—Father, forgive them, they do not
know what they do.
N—They divided his garments by casting
lots. The people stood by and watched;
the rulers, meanwhile, sneered at him and
said,
C—HE SAVED OTHERS, LET HIM SAVE
HIMSELF IF HE IS THE CHOSEN ONE, THE
CHRIST OF GOD.

45. N—Even the soldiers jeered at him. As they
approached to offer him wine they called out,
C—IF YOU ARE KING OF THE JEWS, SAVE
YOURSELF.
N—Above him there was an inscription that
read, “This is the King of the Jews.” Now one of
the criminals hanging there reviled Jesus,
saying,
P—Are you not the Christ? Save yourself and
us.

46. N—The other, however, rebuking him, said in
reply,
P—Have you no fear in God, for you are subject
to the same condemnation? And indeed, we
have been condemned justly, for the sentence
we received corresponds to our crimes, but this
man has done nothing criminal.
N—Then he said,
P—Jesus, remember me when you come into
your kingdom.

47. N—He replied to him,
J—Amen, I say to you, today you will be with
me in Paradise.
N—It was now about noon and darkness came
over the whole land until three in the afternoon
because
of an eclipse of the sun. Then the veil of the
temple was torn down in the middle. Jesus
cried out in a
loud voice,

48. J—Father, into your hands I commend my
spirit.
N—And when he had said this he
breathed his last.
(All kneel and reflect in silence)
N—The centurion who witnessed what
had happened glorified God and said,
P—This man was innocent beyond doubt.

49. N—When all the people who had
gathered for this spectacle saw what had
happened, they returned home beating
their breasts; but all his acquaintances
stood at a distance,
including the women who had followed
him from Galilee and saw these events.
— The Gospel of the Lord.
All—Praise to you, Lord Jesus
