| SECOND STATION Jesus is Made to Bear His Cross |
| (Genuflecting) We adore You, 0 Christ, and we praise You. Because by Your holy Cross You have redeemed the world. Consider how Jesus, in making this journey with the Cross on His shoulders, thought of us, and offered for us to His Father the death He was about to undergo. (Pause for silent prayer.) My most beloved Jesus! I embrace all the tribulations You have destined for me until death. I beseech You, by the merits of the pain You did suffer in carrying Your Cross, to give me help to carry mine with perfect patience and resignation. 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. Our Father ... , Hail Mary ... , Glory be to the Father... 0 Jesus! Who for love of me... Through her heart, His sorrow sharing, All His bitter anguish bearing, Now at length the sword had passed. _____________ |
