A visit of 7 Historic Churches with the Way of the Cross, in Iloilo Province, Philippines for Holy Thursday, April 5, 2012 by: Fergus JM Ducharme www.historicphilippines.com Copyright © www.historicphilippines.com 2012 All Rights Reserved
There are many who are unable to participate in the Holy Thursday traditional observance of visiting 7 Churches and doing the Way of the Cross, for all sorts of reasons. Some are far from home in the Americas, in the Middle East, in Europe or elsewhere in Asia, while others are confined to their homes due to illness or old age and still others are at work. We have prepared, just for you, a small touch of home for this Holy Week to give you the opportunity to visit 7 historic churches in Iloilo Province with two Stations of the Way of the Cross at each church to help you with your Easter/Holy Week observances..
You will visit the following 7 churches in Iloilo Province this Easter Week: 1. Santo Tomas de Villanueva in Miagao, 2. Saint John of Sahagun in Tigbauan, 3. San Nicholas de Tolentino in Guimbal, 4. Immaculate Conception in Oton, 5. San Joaquin in San Joaquin, 6. Saint Julian of Cuenca in Janiuay, and 7. San Guillermo in Passi City. The Stations of the Cross were photographed at the Church of Saint John of Sahagun in Tigbauan, Iloilo.
Preparatory prayer: O most merciful Jesus, with a contrite heart and penitent spirit, I bow down in profound humility before Your divine majesty. I adore You as my supreme Lord and Master; I believe in You, I hope in You, I love You above all things. I am heartily sorry for having offended You, my Supreme and Only Good. I resolve to amend my life, and although I am unworthy to obtain mercy, yet the sight of Your holy cross, on which You died, inspires me with hope and consolation. I will, therefore, meditate on Your sufferings, and visit the stations of Your Passion in company with Your sorrowful Mother and my guardian angel, with the intention of promoting Your honor and saving my soul. I desire to gain all the indulgences granted for this holy exercise for myself and for the Poor Souls in Purgatory. O merciful Redeemer, who has said, "And I, if I be lifted from earth, will draw all things to Myself," draw my heart and my love to You, that I may perform this devotion as perfectly as possible, and that I may live and die in union with You. Amen. Prayers used in our presentation are from: St. Francis of Assisi courtesy of Saint Joseph Software & www.catholic-forum.com

First Station: JESUS IS CONDEMNED TO DEATH Stations of the Way of the Cross, photographed at the Church of Saint John of Sahagun in Tigbauan, Iloilo.
First Station: JESUS IS CONDEMNED TO DEATH Adoration: We adore You, O Christ, and we praise You, because by Your holy cross You have redeemed the world. Meditation: Jesus, most innocent, who neither did nor could commit a sin, was condemned to death, and moreover, to the most ignominious death of the cross. To remain a friend of Caesar, Pilate delivered Him into the hands of His enemies. A fearful crime -- to condemn Innocence to death, and to offend God in order not to displease men! Prayer: O innocent Jesus, having sinned, I am guilty of eternal death, but You willingly accepted the unjust sentence of death, that I might live. For whom, then, shall I henceforth live, if not for You, my Lord? Should I desire to please men, I could not be Your servant. Let me, therefore, rather displease men and all the world, than not please You, O Jesus. Lord Jesus, crucified, have mercy on us! Recite: • Our Father, who art in heaven… • Hail Mary full of Grace… • Glory Be to the Father… Jesus Christ, crucified, have mercy on us!
Second Station: JESUS IS MADE TO CARRY THE CROSS Stations of the Way of the Cross, photographed at the Church of Saint John of Sahagun in Tigbauan, Iloilo.
Second Station: JESUS IS MADE TO CARRY THE CROSS Adoration: We adore You, O Christ, and we praise You, Adoration because by Your holy cross You have redeemed the world. Meditation: When our divine Savior beheld the cross, He Meditation most willingly stretched out His bleeding arms, lovingly embraced it, and tenderly kissed it, and placing it on His bruised shoulders, He, although almost exhausted, joyfully carried it. Prayer: O my Jesus, I cannot be Your friend and follower, Prayer if I refuse to carry the cross. O dearly beloved cross! I embrace you, I kiss you, I joyfully accept you from the hands of my God. Far be it from me to glory in anything, save in the cross of my Lord and Redeemer. By it the world shall be crucified to me and I to the world, that I may be Yours forever. Recite:  Our Father, who art in heaven…  Hail Mary full of Grace…  Glory Be to the Father… Jesus Christ, crucified, have mercy on us!

Third Station: JESUS FALLS THE FIRST TIME Stations of the Way of the Cross, photographed at the Church of Saint John of Sahagun in Tigbauan, Iloilo.
Third Station: JESUS FALLS THE FIRST TIME Adoration: We adore you, O Christ and we praise You, Adoration because by Your holy cross You have redeemed the world. Meditation: Our dear Savior, carrying the cross, was so Meditation weakened by its heavy weight as to fall exhausted to the ground. Our sins and misdeeds were the heavy burden which oppressed Him: the cross was to Him light and sweet, but our sins were galling and insupportable. Prayer: O my Jesus, You did bear my burden and the Prayer heavy weight of my sins. Should I, then, not bear in union with You, my easy burden of suffering and accept the sweet yoke of You commandments? Your yoke is sweet and Your burden is light: I therefore willingly accept it. I will take up my cross and follow You. Recite: Recite • Our Father, who art in heaven… • Hail Mary full of Grace… • Glory Be to the Father… Jesus Christ, crucified, have mercy on us!
Fourth Station: JESUS MEETS HIS MOTHER Stations of the Way of the Cross, photographed at the Church of Saint John of Sahagun in Tigbauan, Iloilo.
Fourth Station: JESUS MEETS HIS MOTHER Adoration: We adore You O Christ and we praise You, Adoration because by Your holy cross You have redeemed the world. Meditation: How painful and how sad it must have been Meditation for Mary, the sorrowful Mother, to behold her beloved Son, laden with the burden of the cross! What unspeakable pangs her most tender heart experienced! How earnestly did she desire to die in place of Jesus, or at least with Him! Implore this sorrowful Mother that she assist you in the hour of your death. Prayer: O Jesus, O Mary, I am the cause of the great and Prayer manifold pains which pierce your loving hearts! Oh, that also my heart would feel and experience at least some of your sufferings! O Mother of Sorrows, let me participate in the sufferings which you and your Son endured for me, and let me experience your sorrow, that afflicted with you, I may enjoy your assistance in the hour of my death. Recite: • Our Father, who art in heaven… • Hail Mary full of Grace… • Glory Be to the Father… Jesus Christ, crucified, have mercy on us!

Fifth Station: SIMON OF CYRENE HELPS JESUS CARRY HIS CROSS Stations of the Way of the Cross, photographed at the Church of Saint John of Sahagun in Tigbauan, Iloilo.
Fifth Station: SIMON OF CYRENE HELPS JESUS CARRY HIS CROSS Adoration: We adore You O Christ and we praise You, Adoration because by Your holy cross You have redeemed the world. Meditation: Simon of Cyrene was compelled to help Jesus Meditation carry His cross, and Jesus accepted his assistance. How willingly would He also permit you to carry the cross: He calls, but you hear Him not; He invites you, but you decline. What a reproach, to bear the cross reluctantly! Prayer: O Jesus! Whosoever does not take up his cross and follow You is not worthy of You. Behold, I join You in the Way of Your Cross; I will be Your assistant, following Your bloody footsteps, that I may come to You in eternal life. Recite: • Our Father, who art in heaven… • Hail Mary full of Grace… • Glory Be to the Father… Jesus Christ, crucified, have mercy on us!
Sixth Station: VERONICA WIPES THE FACE OF JESUS Stations of the Way of the Cross, photographed at the Church of Saint John of Sahagun in Tigbauan, Iloilo.
Sixth Station: VERONICA WIPES THE FACE OF JESUS Adoration: We adore You O Christ and we praise You, Adoration because by Your holy cross You have redeemed the world. Meditation: Veronica, impelled by devotion and Meditation compassion, presents her veil to Jesus to wipe His disfigured face. And Jesus imprints on it His holy countenance: a great recompense for so small a service. What return to you make to your Savior for His great and manifold benefits? Prayer: Most merciful Jesus! What return shall I make for Prayer all the benefits You have bestowed upon me? Behold I consecrate myself entirely to Your service. I offer and consecrate to You my heart: imprint on it Your sacred image, never again to be effaced by sin. Recite: • Our Father, who art in heaven… • Hail Mary full of Grace… • Glory Be to the Father… Jesus Christ, crucified, have mercy on us!

Seventh Station: JESUS FALLS THE SECOND TIME Stations of the Way of the Cross, photographed at the Church of Saint John of Sahagun in Tigbauan, Iloilo.
Seventh Station: JESUS FALLS THE SECOND TIME Adoration: We adore You O Christ and we praise You, Adoration because by Your holy cross You have redeemed the world. Meditation: The suffering Jesus, under the weight of His Meditation cross, again falls to the ground; but the cruel executioners do not permit Him to rest a moment. Pushing and striking Him, they urge Him onward. It is the frequent repetition of our sins which oppress Jesus. Witnessing this, how can I continue to sin? Prayer: O Jesus, Son of David, have mercy on me! Offer Prayer me Your helping hand, and aid me, that I may not fall again into my former sins. From this very moment, I will earnestly strive to reform: nevermore will I sin! You, O sole support of the weak, by Your grace, without which I can do nothing, strengthen me to carry out faithfully this my resolution. Recite: • Our Father, who art in heaven… • Hail Mary full of Grace… • Glory Be to the Father… Jesus Christ, crucified, have mercy on us!
Eighth Station: THE WOMEN OF JERUSALEM WEEP OVER JESUS Stations of the Way of the Cross, photographed at the Church of Saint John of Sahagun in Tigbauan, Iloilo.
Eighth Station: THE WOMEN OF JERUSALEM WEEP OVER JESUS Adoration: We adore You O Christ and we praise You, Adoration because by Your holy cross You have redeemed the world. Meditation: These devoted women, moved by Meditation compassion, weep over the suffering Savior. But He turns to them, saying: "Weep not for Me, Who am innocent, but weep for yourselves and for your children." Weep thou also, for there is nothing more pleasing to Our Lord and nothing more profitable for thyself, than tears shed from contrition for thy sins. Prayer: O Jesus, Who shall give to my eyes a torrent of Prayer tears, that day and night I may weep for my sins? I beseech You, through Your bitter and bloody tears, to move my heart by Your divine grace, so that from my eyes tears may flow abundantly, and that I may weep all my days over Your sufferings, and still more over their cause, my sins. Recite: • Our Father, who art in heaven… • Hail Mary full of Grace… • Glory Be to the Father… Jesus Christ, crucified, have mercy on us!

Ninth Station: JESUS FALLS THE THIRD TIME Stations of the Way of the Cross, photographed at the Church of Saint John of Sahagun in Tigbauan, Iloilo.
Ninth Station: JESUS FALLS THE THIRD TIME Adoration: We adore You O Christ and we praise You, Adoration because by Your holy cross You have redeemed the world. Meditation: Jesus, arriving exhausted at the foot of Meditation Calvary, falls for the third time to the ground. His love for us, however, is not diminished, not extinguished. What a fearfully oppressive burden our sins must be to cause Jesus to fall so often! Had He, however, not taken them upon Himself, they would have plunged us into the abyss of Hell. Prayer: Most merciful Jesus, I return You infinite thanks for Prayer not permitting me to continue in sin and to fall, as I have so often deserved, into the depths of Hell. Enkindle in me an earnest desire of amendment; let me never again relapse, but vouchsafe me the grace to persevere in penance to the end of my life. Recite: • Our Father, who art in heaven… • Hail Mary full of Grace… • Glory Be to the Father… Jesus Christ, crucified, have mercy on us!
Tenth Station: JESUS IS STRIPPED OF HIS GARMENTS Stations of the Way of the Cross, photographed at the Church of Saint John of Sahagun in Tigbauan, Iloilo.
Tenth Station: JESUS IS STRIPPED OF HIS GARMENTS Adoration: We adore You O Christ and we praise You, Adoration because by Your holy cross You have redeemed the world. Meditation: When Our Savior had arrived on Calvary, He Meditation was cruelly despoiled of His garments. How painful this must have been because they adhered to His wounded and torn body, and with them parts of His bloody skin were removed! All the wounds of Jesus were renewed. Jesus was despoiled of His garments that He might die possessed of nothing; how happy will I also die after laying aside my former self with all evil desires and sinful inclinations! Prayer: Induce me, O Jesus, to lay aside my former self Prayer and to be renewed according to Your will and desire. I will not spare myself, however painful this should be for me: despoiled of things temporal, of my own will, I desire to die, in order to live for You forever. Recite: • Our Father, who art in heaven… • Hail Mary full of Grace… • Glory Be to the Father… Jesus Christ, crucified, have mercy on us!

Eleventh Station: JESUS IS NAILED TO THE CROSS Stations of the Way of the Cross, photographed at the Church of Saint John of Sahagun in Tigbauan, Iloilo.
Eleventh Station: JESUS IS NAILED TO THE CROSS Adoration: We adore You O Christ and we praise You, Adoration because by Your holy cross You have redeemed the world. Meditation: Jesus, being stripped of His garments, was Meditation violently thrown upon the cross and His hands and feet nailed thereto. In such excruciating pains He remained silent, because it pleased His heavenly Father. He suffered patiently, because He suffered for me. How do I act in sufferings and in troubles? How fretful and impatient, how full of complaints I am! Prayer: O Jesus, gracious Lamb of God, I renounce Prayer forever my impatience. Crucify, O Lord, my flesh and its concupiscences; scourge, scathe and punish me in this world, do but spare me in the next. I commit my destiny to You, resigning myself to You holy will: may it be done in all things! Recite: • Our Father, who art in heaven… • Hail Mary full of Grace… • Glory Be to the Father… Jesus Christ, crucified, have mercy on us!
Twelfth Station: JESUS IS RAISED UPON THE CROSS AND DIES Stations of the Way of the Cross, photographed at the Church of Saint John of Sahagun in Tigbauan, Iloilo.
Twelfth Station: JESUS IS RAISED UPON THE CROSS AND DIES Adoration: We adore You O Christ and we praise You, Adoration because by Your holy cross You have redeemed the world. Meditation: Behold Jesus crucified! Behold His wounds, Meditation received for love of you! His whole appearance betokens love: His head is bent to kiss you; His arms are extended to embrace you; His Heart is open to receive you. O superabundance of love, Jesus, the Son of God, dies upon the cross, that man may live and be delivered from everlasting death! Prayer: O most amiable Jesus! Who will grant me that I Prayer may die for You! I will at least endeavor to die to the world. How must I regard the world and its vanities, when I behold You hanging on the cross, covered with wounds? O Jesus, receive me into Your wounded Heart: I belong entirely to You; for You alone do I desire to live and to die. Recite: • Our Father, who art in heaven… • Hail Mary full of Grace… • Glory Be to the Father… Jesus Christ, crucified, have mercy on us!

Thirteenth Station: JESUS IS TAKEN DOWN FROM THE CROSS AND PLACED IN THE ARMS OF HIS MOTHER Stations of the Way of the Cross, photographed at the Church of Saint John of Sahagun in Tigbauan, Iloilo.
Thirteenth Station: JESUS IS TAKEN DOWN FROM THE CROSS AND PLACED IN THE ARMS OF HIS MOTHER Adoration: We adore You O Christ and we praise You, Adoration because by Your holy cross You have redeemed the world. Meditation: Jesus did not descend from the cross but Meditation remained on it until He died. And when taken down from it, He in death as in life, rested on the bosom of His divine Mother. Persevere in your resolutions of reform and do not part from the cross; he who persevereth to the end shall be saved. Consider, moreover, how pure the heart should be that receives the body and blood of Christ in the Adorable Sacrament of the Altar. Prayer: O Lord Jesus, Your lifeless body, mangled and Prayer lacerated, found a worthy resting place on the bosom of Your virgin Mother. Have I not often compelled You to dwell in my heart, full of sin and impurity as it was? Create in me a new heart, that I may worthily receive Your most sacred body in Holy Communion, and that You may remain in me and I in You for all eternity. Recite: • Our Father, who art in heaven… • Hail Mary full of Grace… • Glory Be to the Father… Jesus Christ, crucified, have mercy on us!
Fourteenth Station: JESUS IS LAID IN THE SEPULCHER Stations of the Way of the Cross, photographed at the Church of Saint John of Sahagun in Tigbauan, Iloilo.
Fourteenth Station: JESUS IS LAID IN THE SEPULCHER Adoration: We adore You O Christ and we praise You, Adoration because by Your holy cross You have redeemed the world. Meditation: The body of Jesus is interred in a stranger's Meditation sepulchre. He who in this world had not whereupon to rest His head, would not even have a grave of His own, because He was not from this world. You, who are so attached to the world, henceforth despise it, that you may not perish with it. Prayer: O Jesus, You have set me apart from the world; Prayer what, then, shall I seek therein? You have created me for Heaven; what then have I to do with the world? Depart from me, deceitful world, with your vanities! Henceforth I will follow the Way of the Cross traced out for me by my Redeemer, and journey onward to my heavenly home, there to dwell forever and ever. Recite: • Our Father, who art in heaven… • Hail Mary full of Grace… • Glory Be to the Father… Jesus Christ, crucified, have mercy on us!
Closing Prayer Almighty and eternal God, merciful Father, who has given to the human race Your beloved Son as an example of humility, obedience and patience to precede us on the way of life, bearing the cross. Graciously grant us that we, inflamed by His infinite love, may take up the sweet yoke of His Gospel together with the mortification of the cross, following Him as His true disciples, so that we shall one day gloriously rise with Him and joyfully hear the final sentence: "Come, you blessed of My Father, and possess the kingdom which was prepared for you from the beginning," where You live and reign with the Son and the Holy Ghost, and where we hope to live with You, world without end. Amen. Saint Francis of Assisi

    A visit of7 Historic Churches with the Way of the Cross, in Iloilo Province, Philippines for Holy Thursday, April 5, 2012 by: Fergus JM Ducharme www.historicphilippines.com Copyright © www.historicphilippines.com 2012 All Rights Reserved
  • 4.
    There are manywho are unable to participate in the Holy Thursday traditional observance of visiting 7 Churches and doing the Way of the Cross, for all sorts of reasons. Some are far from home in the Americas, in the Middle East, in Europe or elsewhere in Asia, while others are confined to their homes due to illness or old age and still others are at work. We have prepared, just for you, a small touch of home for this Holy Week to give you the opportunity to visit 7 historic churches in Iloilo Province with two Stations of the Way of the Cross at each church to help you with your Easter/Holy Week observances..
  • 5.
    You will visitthe following 7 churches in Iloilo Province this Easter Week: 1. Santo Tomas de Villanueva in Miagao, 2. Saint John of Sahagun in Tigbauan, 3. San Nicholas de Tolentino in Guimbal, 4. Immaculate Conception in Oton, 5. San Joaquin in San Joaquin, 6. Saint Julian of Cuenca in Janiuay, and 7. San Guillermo in Passi City. The Stations of the Cross were photographed at the Church of Saint John of Sahagun in Tigbauan, Iloilo.
  • 6.
    Preparatory prayer: O mostmerciful Jesus, with a contrite heart and penitent spirit, I bow down in profound humility before Your divine majesty. I adore You as my supreme Lord and Master; I believe in You, I hope in You, I love You above all things. I am heartily sorry for having offended You, my Supreme and Only Good. I resolve to amend my life, and although I am unworthy to obtain mercy, yet the sight of Your holy cross, on which You died, inspires me with hope and consolation. I will, therefore, meditate on Your sufferings, and visit the stations of Your Passion in company with Your sorrowful Mother and my guardian angel, with the intention of promoting Your honor and saving my soul. I desire to gain all the indulgences granted for this holy exercise for myself and for the Poor Souls in Purgatory. O merciful Redeemer, who has said, "And I, if I be lifted from earth, will draw all things to Myself," draw my heart and my love to You, that I may perform this devotion as perfectly as possible, and that I may live and die in union with You. Amen. Prayers used in our presentation are from: St. Francis of Assisi courtesy of Saint Joseph Software & www.catholic-forum.com

    First Station: JESUS IS CONDEMNED TO DEATH Stations of the Way of the Cross, photographed at the Church of Saint John of Sahagun in Tigbauan, Iloilo.
  • 10.
    First Station: JESUS IS CONDEMNED TO DEATH Adoration: We adore You, O Christ, and we praise You, because by Your holy cross You have redeemed the world. Meditation: Jesus, most innocent, who neither did nor could commit a sin, was condemned to death, and moreover, to the most ignominious death of the cross. To remain a friend of Caesar, Pilate delivered Him into the hands of His enemies. A fearful crime -- to condemn Innocence to death, and to offend God in order not to displease men! Prayer: O innocent Jesus, having sinned, I am guilty of eternal death, but You willingly accepted the unjust sentence of death, that I might live. For whom, then, shall I henceforth live, if not for You, my Lord? Should I desire to please men, I could not be Your servant. Let me, therefore, rather displease men and all the world, than not please You, O Jesus. Lord Jesus, crucified, have mercy on us! Recite: • Our Father, who art in heaven… • Hail Mary full of Grace… • Glory Be to the Father… Jesus Christ, crucified, have mercy on us!

Meditation: When our divine Savior beheld the cross, He Meditation most willingly stretched out His bleeding arms, lovingly embraced it, and tenderly kissed it, and placing it on His bruised shoulders, He, although almost exhausted, joyfully carried it. Prayer: O my Jesus, I cannot be Your friend and follower, Prayer if I refuse to carry the cross. O dearly beloved cross! I embrace you, I kiss you, I joyfully accept you from the hands of my God. Far be it from me to glory in anything, save in the cross of my Lord and Redeemer. By it the world shall be crucified to me and I to the world, that I may be Yours forever. Recite:  Our Father, who art in heaven…  Hail Mary full of Grace…  Glory Be to the Father… Jesus Christ, crucified, have mercy on us!

Meditation: Our dear Savior, carrying the cross, was so Meditation weakened by its heavy weight as to fall exhausted to the ground. Our sins and misdeeds were the heavy burden which oppressed Him: the cross was to Him light and sweet, but our sins were galling and insupportable. Prayer: O my Jesus, You did bear my burden and the Prayer heavy weight of my sins. Should I, then, not bear in union with You, my easy burden of suffering and accept the sweet yoke of You commandments? Your yoke is sweet and Your burden is light: I therefore willingly accept it. I will take up my cross and follow You. Recite: Recite • Our Father, who art in heaven… • Hail Mary full of Grace… • Glory Be to the Father… Jesus Christ, crucified, have mercy on us!

  • 18.
    Fourth Station: JESUS MEETS HIS MOTHER Adoration: We adore You O Christ and we praise You, Adoration because by Your holy cross You have redeemed the world. Meditation: How painful and how sad it must have been Meditation for Mary, the sorrowful Mother, to behold her beloved Son, laden with the burden of the cross! What unspeakable pangs her most tender heart experienced! How earnestly did she desire to die in place of Jesus, or at least with Him! Implore this sorrowful Mother that she assist you in the hour of your death. Prayer: O Jesus, O Mary, I am the cause of the great and Prayer manifold pains which pierce your loving hearts! Oh, that also my heart would feel and experience at least some of your sufferings! O Mother of Sorrows, let me participate in the sufferings which you and your Son endured for me, and let me experience your sorrow, that afflicted with you, I may enjoy your assistance in the hour of my death. Recite: • Our Father, who art in heaven… • Hail Mary full of Grace… • Glory Be to the Father… Jesus Christ, crucified, have mercy on us!

Meditation: Simon of Cyrene was compelled to help Jesus Meditation carry His cross, and Jesus accepted his assistance. How willingly would He also permit you to carry the cross: He calls, but you hear Him not; He invites you, but you decline. What a reproach, to bear the cross reluctantly! Prayer: O Jesus! Whosoever does not take up his cross and follow You is not worthy of You. Behold, I join You in the Way of Your Cross; I will be Your assistant, following Your bloody footsteps, that I may come to You in eternal life. Recite: • Our Father, who art in heaven… • Hail Mary full of Grace… • Glory Be to the Father… Jesus Christ, crucified, have mercy on us!

Meditation: Veronica, impelled by devotion and Meditation compassion, presents her veil to Jesus to wipe His disfigured face. And Jesus imprints on it His holy countenance: a great recompense for so small a service. What return to you make to your Savior for His great and manifold benefits? Prayer: Most merciful Jesus! What return shall I make for Prayer all the benefits You have bestowed upon me? Behold I consecrate myself entirely to Your service. I offer and consecrate to You my heart: imprint on it Your sacred image, never again to be effaced by sin.

    Seventh Station: JESUS FALLS THE SECOND TIME Adoration: We adore You O Christ and we praise You, Adoration because by Your holy cross You have redeemed the world. Meditation: The suffering Jesus, under the weight of His Meditation cross, again falls to the ground; but the cruel executioners do not permit Him to rest a moment. Pushing and striking Him, they urge Him onward. It is the frequent repetition of our sins which oppress Jesus. Witnessing this, how can I continue to sin? Prayer: O Jesus, Son of David, have mercy on me! Offer Prayer me Your helping hand, and aid me, that I may not fall again into my former sins. From this very moment, I will earnestly strive to reform: nevermore will I sin! You, O sole support of the weak, by Your grace, without which I can do nothing, strengthen me to carry out faithfully this my resolution. Recite: • Our Father, who art in heaven… • Hail Mary full of Grace… • Glory Be to the Father… Jesus Christ, crucified, have mercy on us!

  • 30.
    Eighth Station: THE WOMEN OF JERUSALEM WEEP OVER JESUS Adoration: We adore You O Christ and we praise You, Adoration because by Your holy cross You have redeemed the world. Meditation: These devoted women, moved by Meditation compassion, weep over the suffering Savior. But He turns to them, saying: "Weep not for Me, Who am innocent, but weep for yourselves and for your children." Weep thou also, for there is nothing more pleasing to Our Lord and nothing more profitable for thyself, than tears shed from contrition for thy sins. Prayer: O Jesus, Who shall give to my eyes a torrent of Prayer tears, that day and night I may weep for my sins? I beseech You, through Your bitter and bloody tears, to move my heart by Your divine grace, so that from my eyes tears may flow abundantly, and that I may weep all my days over Your sufferings, and still more over their cause, my sins. Recite: • Our Father, who art in heaven… • Hail Mary full of Grace… • Glory Be to the Father… Jesus Christ, crucified, have mercy on us!

  • 34.
    Ninth Station: JESUS FALLS THE THIRD TIME Adoration: We adore You O Christ and we praise You, Adoration because by Your holy cross You have redeemed the world. Meditation: Jesus, arriving exhausted at the foot of Meditation Calvary, falls for the third time to the ground. His love for us, however, is not diminished, not extinguished. What a fearfully oppressive burden our sins must be to cause Jesus to fall so often! Had He, however, not taken them upon Himself, they would have plunged us into the abyss of Hell. Prayer: Most merciful Jesus, I return You infinite thanks for Prayer not permitting me to continue in sin and to fall, as I have so often deserved, into the depths of Hell. Enkindle in me an earnest desire of amendment; let me never again relapse, but vouchsafe me the grace to persevere in penance to the end of my life. Recite: • Our Father, who art in heaven… • Hail Mary full of Grace… • Glory Be to the Father… Jesus Christ, crucified, have mercy on us!

    Tenth Station: JESUS IS STRIPPED OF HIS GARMENTS Adoration: We adore You O Christ and we praise You, Adoration because by Your holy cross You have redeemed the world. Meditation: When Our Savior had arrived on Calvary, He Meditation was cruelly despoiled of His garments. How painful this must have been because they adhered to His wounded and torn body, and with them parts of His bloody skin were removed! All the wounds of Jesus were renewed. Jesus was despoiled of His garments that He might die possessed of nothing; how happy will I also die after laying aside my former self with all evil desires and sinful inclinations! Prayer: Induce me, O Jesus, to lay aside my former self Prayer and to be renewed according to Your will and desire. I will not spare myself, however painful this should be for me: despoiled of things temporal, of my own will, I desire to die, in order to live for You forever. Recite: • Our Father, who art in heaven… • Hail Mary full of Grace… • Glory Be to the Father… Jesus Christ, crucified, have mercy on us!

Meditation: Jesus, being stripped of His garments, was Meditation violently thrown upon the cross and His hands and feet nailed thereto. In such excruciating pains He remained silent, because it pleased His heavenly Father. He suffered patiently, because He suffered for me. How do I act in sufferings and in troubles? How fretful and impatient, how full of complaints I am! Prayer: O Jesus, gracious Lamb of God, I renounce Prayer forever my impatience. Crucify, O Lord, my flesh and its concupiscences; scourge, scathe and punish me in this world, do but spare me in the next. I commit my destiny to You, resigning myself to You holy will: may it be done in all things! Recite: • Our Father, who art in heaven… • Hail Mary full of Grace… • Glory Be to the Father… Jesus Christ, crucified, have mercy on us!
  • 41.

  • 42.
    Twelfth Station: JESUS IS RAISED UPON THE CROSS AND DIES Adoration: We adore You O Christ and we praise You, Adoration because by Your holy cross You have redeemed the world. Meditation: Behold Jesus crucified! Behold His wounds, Meditation received for love of you! His whole appearance betokens love: His head is bent to kiss you; His arms are extended to embrace you; His Heart is open to receive you. O superabundance of love, Jesus, the Son of God, dies upon the cross, that man may live and be delivered from everlasting death! Prayer: O most amiable Jesus! Who will grant me that I Prayer may die for You! I will at least endeavor to die to the world. How must I regard the world and its vanities, when I behold You hanging on the cross, covered with wounds? O Jesus, receive me into Your wounded Heart: I belong entirely to You; for You alone do I desire to live and to die. Recite: • Our Father, who art in heaven… • Hail Mary full of Grace… • Glory Be to the Father… Jesus Christ, crucified, have mercy on us!

  • 46.
    Thirteenth Station: JESUS ISTAKEN DOWN FROM THE CROSS AND PLACED IN THE ARMS OF HIS MOTHER Adoration: We adore You O Christ and we praise You, Adoration because by Your holy cross You have redeemed the world. Meditation: Jesus did not descend from the cross but Meditation remained on it until He died. And when taken down from it, He in death as in life, rested on the bosom of His divine Mother. Persevere in your resolutions of reform and do not part from the cross; he who persevereth to the end shall be saved. Consider, moreover, how pure the heart should be that receives the body and blood of Christ in the Adorable Sacrament of the Altar. Prayer: O Lord Jesus, Your lifeless body, mangled and Prayer lacerated, found a worthy resting place on the bosom of Your virgin Mother. Have I not often compelled You to dwell in my heart, full of sin and impurity as it was? Create in me a new heart, that I may worthily receive Your most sacred body in Holy Communion, and that You may remain in me and I in You for all eternity. Recite: • Our Father, who art in heaven… • Hail Mary full of Grace… • Glory Be to the Father… Jesus Christ, crucified, have mercy on us!

    Fourteenth Station: JESUS IS LAID IN THE SEPULCHER Adoration: We adore You O Christ and we praise You, Adoration because by Your holy cross You have redeemed the world. Meditation: The body of Jesus is interred in a stranger's Meditation sepulchre. He who in this world had not whereupon to rest His head, would not even have a grave of His own, because He was not from this world. You, who are so attached to the world, henceforth despise it, that you may not perish with it. Prayer: O Jesus, You have set me apart from the world; Prayer what, then, shall I seek therein? You have created me for Heaven; what then have I to do with the world? Depart from me, deceitful world, with your vanities! Henceforth I will follow the Way of the Cross traced out for me by my Redeemer, and journey onward to my heavenly home, there to dwell forever and ever. Recite: • Our Father, who art in heaven… • Hail Mary full of Grace… • Glory Be to the Father… Jesus Christ, crucified, have mercy on us!
  • 49.
    Closing Prayer Almighty andeternal God, merciful Father, who has given to the human race Your beloved Son as an example of humility, obedience and patience to precede us on the way of life, bearing the cross. Graciously grant us that we, inflamed by His infinite love, may take up the sweet yoke of His Gospel together with the mortification of the cross, following Him as His true disciples, so that we shall one day gloriously rise with Him and joyfully hear the final sentence: "Come, you blessed of My Father, and possess the kingdom which was prepared for you from the beginning," where You live and reign with the Son and the Holy Ghost, and where we hope to live with You, world without end. Amen. Saint Francis of Assisi
