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



STATION IV: Jesus Meets His Afflicted Mother

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


My dearest Lord Jesus, I thank Thee for this heart-rending meeting on thy journey to Calvary. (Pause for reflection.) Through the union of Thy Most Sacred Heart with the Heart of Thy Immaculate Mother I beg of Thee to give Thy priests the grace to have Mary as their most powerful aid and comfort in life and at the hour of death. Grant also, 0 dearest Jesus, that Thy sweetest Mother may, in a special manner, be with those priests who are suffering persecution for Thy sake. May she comfort them in their hour of trial and darkness as she comforted Thee on Thy way to execution.
