First Station: Jesus is condemned to death
Leader - We adore Thee, O Christ, and bless Thee.
Lords Prayer
All - Because by Thy holy cross Thou hast redeemed the world.
Jesus, you stand all alone before Pilate. Nobody speaks up for you. Nobody helps defend you. You devoted your entire life to helping others, listening to the smallest ones, caring for those who were ignored by others. They don't seem to remember that as they prepare to put you to death.
As a child, sometimes I feel alone. Sometimes I feel that others don't stand up for me and defend me when I am afraid. Sometimes I don't feel like I am treated fairly, especially if I am scolded or corrected.
As an adult, sometimes I feel abandoned and afraid as well. Sometimes I too, feel like I am treated unfairly or blamed for things unfairly. I have a hard time when people criticize me at home or at work.
Help me be grateful for what you did for me. Help me to accept criticism and unfairness as you did, and not complain. Help me pray for those who have hurt me.
My Jesus, often have I signed The death warrant by my sins; save me by Thy death from that eternal death which I have so often deserved.
Our Father, who art in Heaven, hallowed by Thy name, Thy kingdom come,
Thy will be done on earth as it is in Heaven.
Give us this day our daily bread,and forgive us our trespasses as we forgive those who trespass against us.
And lead us not into temptation but deliver us from evil. AmenHail Mary
Hail Mary, full of grace, the Lord is with Thee.Blessed art Thou among women And Blessed is the fruit of Thy womb, Jesus.
Holy Mary, Mother of God Pray for us sinners now and at the hour of our death. AmenGloria Be
Glory be to the Father and to the Son and to the Holy Spirit.As it was in the beginning is now, and ever shall be, world without end. AmenLeader - Jesus Christ Crucified.
All - Have mercy on Us.
Leader - May the souls of the faithful departed, through the mercy of God, Rest in peace.
All - Amen. Next Station
