1st Station

The Lords Supper

We adore you, Christ, and we bless you. (Genuflect)

Because by your holy cross you have redeemed the world.

While they were eating, Jesus took a piece of bread, gave a prayer

of thanks, broke it, and gave it to his disciples. Take and eat it, he

said: this is my body. Then he took a cup, gave thanks to God,

and gave it to them. Drink it, all of you, he said: this is my blood,

which seals Gods covenant, my blood poured out for many for the

forgiveness of sins. I tell you, I will never again drink this wine until

the day I drink the new wine with you in my Fathers Kingdom.

(Matthew 26: 26-29)

Our Father, Hail Mary, Glory Be.

Through her heart, his sorrows sharing,All his bitter anguish bearing,Now at length the sword had passed.

2nd station

Jesus Agony at Gethsemani

We adore you, Christ, and we bless you. (Genuflect)Because by your holy cross you have redeemed the world.

Jesus left the city and went, as he usually did, to the Mount of

Olives; and the disciples went with him. When he arrived at the

place, he said to them, Pray that you will not fall into temptation.

Then he went off from them about the distance of a stones throw

and knelt down and prayed. Father, he said: if you will, take this

cup of suffering away from me. Not my will, however, but your will

be done. An Angel from heaven appeared to him and strengthened

him. (Luke 22:39-43)


Oh, how sad and sore distressedWas that Mother highly blessed,Of the sole-begotten one.

Jesus before the Sanhedrin



The High Priests stood up in front of them all and questioned Jesus,Have you no answer to the accusation they bring against you? But

Jesus kept quiet and would not say a word. Again the High Priestquestioned him, Are you the Messiah, the Son of the Blessed God?Jesus answered: I am, and you will all see the Son of Man seated onthe right of the Almighty and coming with the clouds of heaven!The High Priest tore his robes and said, We dont need any morewitnesses! You heard his blasphemy. What is your decision? theyall voted against him: he was guilty and should be put to death.(Mark 14:55-64)


Christ above in torment hangs,She beneath beholds the pangs,Of her dying glorious Son.

The Crowning with thorns



The Pilates solders took Jesus into governors palace, and the

whole company gathered round him. They stripped off his clothes

and put a scarlet robe on him. Then they made a crown out of

thorny branches and placed it on his head, and put a stick in his

right hand; then they knelt before him and mocked him. Long live

the King of the Jews! they said. They spat on him, and took the


3/8

stick and hit him over the head. When they had finished mocking

him, they took the robe off and put his own clothes back on him.

Then they led him out to crucify him. (Matthew 27:27-31)


Is there one who would not weep,

Whelmed in miseries so deep,

Christs dear Mother to behold?

5th Station

The Carrying of the Cross



When they had finished mocking him, they took the robe off and put

his own clothes back on him. Then they led him out to crucify him.

(Matthew 27:31)


Can the human heart refrain

From partaking in her pain,

In that Mothers pain untold.

6th station

The Falling of Jesus

We adore you, o Christ, and we bless you. (Genuflect)


He was pierced for our offences, crushed for our sins. Upon him was the

chastisement that makes us whole, by his stripes we were healed. We had

all gone astray like sheep, each following his own way. But the Lord laid


4/8

upon him the guilt of us all. Though he was harshly treated, he submitted,

and opened not his mouth. Like a lamb led to the slaughter or a sheep

before the shearers, he was silent and opened not his mouth. (Isaiah 52:5-

7)


For the sins of his own nation,

She saw him hang in desolation,

Till his spirit forth he sent.

7th station

Simon of Cyrene



As they were going out, they met a man from Cyrene named Simon, and

the soldiers forced him to carry Jesus Cross. (Matthew 27:32)


O my Mother, found of love,

Touch my spirit from above,

Make my heart with yours accord.

8th station

The Women of Jerusalem



A large crowd of people followed him; among them were some women who

were weeping and wailing for him. Jesus turned to them and said, Women

of Jerusalem! Dont cry for me, but for yourselves and your children. For

the days are coming when people will say, How lucky are the women who

never had children, who never bore babies, who never nursed the! That

will be the time when people will say to the mountains, Fall on us and to

the hills hide us! for if such things as these are done when the wood


5/8

green, what will happen when it is dry? (Luke 23:27-31)

Our Father.Hail Mary Glory Be

Make me feel as you have felt,

Make my soul to glow and melt,

With the love of Christ, my Lord.

9th station

Jesus is Nailed to the Cross



When they came to the place called The Skull, they crucified Jesus

there, and the two criminals, one on his right and the other on his left.

Jesus said, Forgive them, Father! They dont know what they are doing.

(Luke 23:32-34)


Holy Mother, pierce me through,

In my heart each wound renew,

Of my Savior crucified.

10th station

The Good Criminal



One of the criminals hanging there hurled insults at him: Arent you the

Messiah? Save yourself and us! The other one, however, rebuked him,saying, Dont you fear God? You received the same sentence he did.

Ours, however, is only right, because we are getting what we deserve for

what we did; but he has done no wrong. And he said to Jesus,

Remember me, Jesus, when you come as King! Jesus said to him, I

promise you that today you will be in Paradise with me. (Luke 23:39-43)

Let me share with you his pain,

Who for all my sins was slain,

Who for me in torment died.

11Th station

Mary and John

We adore you, O Christ, and we bless you. (Genuflect)


Standing close to Jesus cross were his mother, his mothers sister, Mary

the wife of Cleopas, and Mary Magdalene. Jesus saw his mother and the

disciple he loved standing there; so he said to his mother, He is your

son. Then he said to the disciple, She is your mother. From that time

the disciple took her to live in his home. (John 19:25-27)


Let me mingle tears with you,Mourning him who mourned for me,

All the days that I may live.

12th Station

JESUS DIES ON THE CROSS

We adore you, O Christ, and we bless you. (Genuflect)


Jesus knew that by now everything had been completed; and in order to

make the scripture come true, he said, I am thirsty. A bowl was there,

full of cheap wine; so a sponge was soaked in the wine, put on a stalk of

hyssop, and lifted up to his lips. Jesus drank the wine and said, It is


7/8

finished! Then he bowed his head and died. (John 19:28-30)

Our FatherHail Mary.Glory Be

By the cross with you to stay,

There with you to weep and pray,

Is all I ask of you to give.

13th Station

Jesus is laid in the Tomb

We adore you, O Christ and we bless you. (Genuflect)


When it was evening, a rich man from Arimathea arrived; his name was

Joseph, and he also was a disciple of Jesus. He went into the presence of

Pilate and asked for the body of Jesus. Pilate gave orders for the body to

be given to Joseph. So Joseph took it, wrapped it in a new linen sheet, and

placed it in his own tomb, which he had just recently dug out of solid rock.

Then he rolled a large stone across the entrance to the tomb and went

away. (Matthew 27:57-60)


While my body here decays,

May soul your goodness praise,

Safe in paradise with you.

14th Station

The Resurrection

We adore you, O Christ and we bless you. (Genuflect)


Very early on Sunday morning the women went to the tomb, carrying the

spices they had prepared. They found the stone rolled away from the


8/8

entrance to the tomb, so they went in; but they did not find the body of

the Lord Jesus. They stood there puzzled about this, when suddenly two

men in bright shining clothes stood by them. Full of fear, the women

bowed down to the ground, as the men said to them, Why are you

looking among the dead for one who is alive? He is not here; he has been

raised. Remember what he said to you while he was in Galilee: The Son ofMan must be handed over to sinners, be crucified, and three days later

rise to life. (Luke 24:1-6)


Jesus risen be our lover,

In your food and in our brother,

Lead us home to paradise.
