The Way of the Cross for Priests, especially those who are suffering persecution.



STATION II: Jesus is Made to Bear His Cross

We adore Thee, 0 Christ, and we bless Thee. Because by Thy holy Cross, Thou hast redeemed the World.


Dearest Lord Jesus, I thank Thee for taking the rough cross upon Thy wounded shoulders and bearing it to Calvary.
(Pause for reflection.)
By Thy humble acceptance of the cross I beg of Thee to grant to priests the grace to accept humbly the crosses of their vocation. I ask of Thee also to grant to those priests, who are forced by Thy enemies and theirs to bear the many crosses of persecution, to follow courageously in Thy bloody footprints


STATION I: Jesus is Condemned to Death

STATION III: Jesus Falls the First Time
