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



STATION III: Jesus Falls the First Time

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


My dearest Jesus, I thank Thee for this first time when Thou didst stumble and fall beneath Thy cross. (Pause for reflection.)By the humiliation Thou didst suffer here I beg of Thee to grant to priests the grace of avoiding all deliberate sin and, should they be so unfortunate as to fall, to rise at once and continue following after Thee. Grant also, dearest Jesus, to those who suffer persecution for thy sake the grace to follow Thee unceasingly without regard to human respect.


STATION II: Jesus is Made to Bear His Cross

STATION IV: Jesus Meets His Afflicted Mother
