Stations of the Cross

Prayerfulness is deeply a part of you: in body, mind and spirit.

STATIONS OF THE CROSS – As composed by St Alphonsus Liguori.

11th STATION – JESUS IS NAILED TO THE CROSS

_________________________________________

Prayers and Reflection
We adore you, O Christ, and we bless you.
Because by your holy Cross you have redeemed the world.
 
Consider that Jesus, after being thrown on the Cross, extended His hands, and offered to His eternal Father the sacrifice of His life for our salvation. Those barbarians fastened Him with nails; and then, raising the Cross, left Him to die with anguish on that infamous gibbet.

   My Jesus, loaded with contempt, nail my heart to your feet, that it may ever remain there to love you, and never more to leave you.
 
Our Father
Hail Mary
Glory be
 
I love you, Jesus, my love above all things.
I repent with my whole heart of having offended you. Never permit me to separate myself from you again. Grant that I may love you always,
and then do with me what you will.
 
May the souls of the faithful departed, through the mercy of God, rest in peace. Amen.		Scripture Reading: Matthew 27:37-42

Above his head was placed the charge against him; it read: “This is Jesus, the King of the Jews.” At the same time two robbers were crucified with him, one on the right and one on the left. The passers-by jeered at him; they shook their heads and said, “So you would destroy the Temple and rebuild it in three days! Then save yourself! If you are God’s son, come down from the cross!” The chief priests with the scribes and elders mocked him in the same way. “He saved others,” they said, “he cannot save himself. He is the king of Israel; let him come down from the cross now, and we will believe in him.”

Next Station….. Jesus dies on the cross
