Devotions

Stations of the Cross

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

At any time in the year, and especially during the weeks of Lent, follow the fourteen Stations of the Cross – in devotion to Jesus and how he offered himself and his life for you.

STATIONS OF THE CROSSAs composed by St Alphonsus Liguori.

OPENING PRAYER

O Jesus Christ, my Lord,
with what great love did you pass over the painful road
which led you to death;
and I, how often have I abandoned you!
But now I love you with my whole soul,
and because I love you
I am sincerely sorry for having offended you.
My Jesus pardon me,
and permit me to accompany you in this journey.
You are going to die for love of me,
and it is my wish also, my dearest redeemer,
to die for love of you.
My Jesus, in your love I wish to live.
In your love I wish to die.

Humbler Yet (see Philippians 2:5-11 on Canticles page)
