Stations of the Cross

Eucharistic Adoration

FIRST STATION

Jesus, You are condemned to death.

We adore You, O Christ, and we praise You, because by Your holy cross You have redeemed the world.
Jesus, Pilate condemns You to death. You are the victim of injustice and violence, of a quest for power and the desire to protect one's position at the expense of others. Thank You, Jesus.
Teach me, O Lord, to intercede for others. Forgive me for being afraid to intervene for those who suffer, for having often condemned others and for responding to judgement with condemnation. Help me to create the conditions for peace.
Our Father... Hail Mary... Glory Be...
Have mercy on us, O Lord
Have mercy on us.

SECOND STATION

Jesus, You receive Your cross upon Your shoulders.

We adore You, O Christ, and we praise You, because by Your holy cross You have redeemed the world.
The cross is prepared and is already placed upon Your shoulders. You accept it, as You taught us to accept our crosses and carry them so that we may become Your disciples. Thank You, Jesus.
Grant me the grace to accept the crosses of my life, Lord. Forgive me for having placed crosses on the shoulders of others and for thus having jeopardized peace. Have mercy on the families where children have become crosses of suffering to their parents and parents to their children. Give us Your peace, O Lord.
Our Father... Hail Mary... Glory Be...
Have mercy on us, O Lord
Have mercy on us

THIRD STATION

Jesus, You fall for the first time beneath the cross.

We adore You, O Christ, and we praise You, because by Your holy cross You have redeemed the world.
The cross is heavy. You are already wounded and physically weakened. You fall beneath the cross and stand up again because You have accepted the will of the Father. Thank You, Jesus.
Grant me, 0 Jesus, the strength to reject all that makes me fall into evil and sin and all that takes away my peace. Grant me a sensitive heart that I may notice those who have fallen and that I may know how to help them. I present to You all those who have fallen because of me and my behaviour. Grant that they may forgive me so that I may follow You.
Our Father... Hail Mary... Glory Be...
Have mercy on us, O Lord
Have mercy on us

FOURTH STATION

Jesus, You meet Your holy Mother.

We adore You, O Christ, and we praise You, because by Your holy cross You have redeemed the world.
Mary accompanies You faithfully. You meet and briefly gaze into each other's eyes. Mary could neither remove the cross nor the condemnation but the meeting was a consolation and a renewed inspiration for You to fulfil the will of the Father.
Thank You, Mary, for being faithful and for knowing how to meet us in our suffering. Teach me to know how to meet others when they suffer. 0 Jesus, bless all families in which the parents fail to meet with their children and the children avoid their parents, where the healthy neglect the sick and the young do not care for the old. Grant Your peace to us all.
Our Father... Hail Mary... Glory Be...
Have mercy on us, O Lord
Have mercy on us

FIFTH STATION

Jesus, Simon of Cyrene helps You carry Your cross.

We adore You, O Christ, and we praise You, because by Your holy cross You have redeemed the world.
Simon helps You to carry the cross; his reward is known to You alone. Thank You for accepting his help.
Teach me, O Lord, to help with love and purify me from selfishness, pride, greed and trie spirit of materialism. Bless all those who have helped me. I present to You all those whom I have injured by only observing their sufferings and lacking sufficient love to help them. Fill every heart with good ness, love and mercy towards the sick, the helpless and the poor.
Our Father... Hail Mary... Glory Be...
Have mercy on us, O Lord
Have mercy on us

O my Jesus, I present to You all those who, because of the difficulties that have befallen them, do not believe they can go on. Have pity on all those Who have lost the meaning of life and are in temptation to take their own life. Grant Your grace of inner freedom to all those who have fallen beneath the weight of drugs, alcohol and immorality so that they may get up again and embrace a dignified life.

O Lord, forgive us all our sins against human dignity. Forgive the world the sin against the unborn life and stop the murder of the unborn with the renewed love towards life. Forgive us our sins against truth, justice and love. Clothe us in new garments of divine life.

RESURRECTON
JESUS YOU HAVE CONQUERED DEATH. I ADORE YOU, O RISEN LORD!
O risen Lord Jesus, thank You for the first gift following Your Resurrection: PEACE. May my heart and the heart of every person hear Your greeting to Your Mother, the women who looked for You and to Your Apostles on that morning of the Resurrection: "Peace be with you. Be not afraid, I am with you always."
I believe in You, my Lord, that You are alive and that You reign forever and ever. Amen.

PRAYER BEFORE THE CROSS
We adore Your most holy Cross, Lord Jesus, for it is the sign of Your love. Through the power of Your most precious blood, cleanse us from all our sins and protect us from every Satanic influence. May a river of peace and reconciliation flow from this place into the parish community, into the Church and into the entire world. Bless and call into Heaven all those who have built this cross. Bless all those who have prayed before this cross and those who will pray before it, for they are listening to Mary, Your Mother, who is calling us to pray before the cross because many graces are coming from it. Be blessed, O Jesus, for by Your holy Cross You have redeemed us for eternal life. Amen.
