LENT

FRIAR: In the name of the Father, and of the Son, and of the Holy Spirit.

As we contemplate these sacred Stations, may our hearts be opened to the grace that flows from the Cross into all creation. May we learn to see the world as you see it — a gift entrusted to our care, redeemed by your sacrifice, and sustained by your love.

LEADER: May our prayer through these Stations transform us — to be obedient without complaint, caring without indifference, simple in our living without regret, patient in restoring what has been harmed, humble in recognising that the earth is yours, not ours, joyful in gratitude for the gift of life, and truthful in our responsibility to safeguard your creation.

Be with us, Jesus, our Lord and our God, for with humility we walk this pilgrimage in your footsteps, seeking not only our own conversion, but the renewal of the whole world you have redeemed by the Cross.

Let us pray together.

ALL: Loving God, we confess that we cannot rely on our own strength, for we do not know how to pray as we ought. In your mercy, bless us now and open our hearts to receive your grace.

Bless our minds, that as we reflect on these sacred mysteries, we may grow in wisdom and become faithful stewards of the earth you entrust to us.

Bless our ears, that we may hear your voice clearly and listen attentively to the cry of the poor and the groaning of wounded creation.

Bless our lips, that we may speak words that heal, protect, and give thanks for the beauty of the world you have made.

Bless our hands, that we may act with care, justice, and responsibility toward all that you place in our keeping.

Bless our hearts, that we may love not only one another, but all creation, which you sustain in being.

We ask this through Christ our Lord. Amen.

LEADER: First Station Jesus Is Condemned to Death

FRIAR: We adore you, 0 Christ, and we bless you ...

ALL: Because by your holy cross you have redeemed the world.

Please kneel

LEADER: "Then what shall I do with Jesus who is called Christ?" They all said, "Let him be crucified:' And he said, "Why, what evil has he done?" But they shouted all the more, "Let him be crucified:' Then, he released for them Barabbas, and having scourged Jesus, delivered him to be crucified.  -Matthew 27:22-23, 26

FRIAR: LET US PRAY ON OPPRESSION AND THE ABUSE OF POWER

God of all Creation, we confess that we are not God.
You formed the earth before us and entrusted it to our care as gift, not possession. Forgive us when we have treated it as something to control, exploit, or consume without reverence.

You created us in your image, not to dominate, but to reflect your wisdom, humility, and love. When we have misunderstood your Word and used it to justify harm — to the earth or to one another — lead us to repentance and deeper understanding.

In a world driven by short-term gain and the pursuit of power, grant us the courage to choose what is right over what is convenient. Free us from narrow vision and teach us to think beyond immediate advantage.

Make us leaders in service, not masters in control. Help us to begin processes of healing, justice, and restoration that will bear fruit for generations to come. Form in us patience instead of haste, responsibility instead of indifference, and hope instead of despair.

May we cooperate with you in renewing the face of the earth, and may our stewardship reflect your glory.

We make this prayer through Christ our Lord. Amen.

ALL: Because by your holy cross you have redeemed the world.

Please kneel

LEADER: The soldiers clothed him in a purple cloak, and plaiting a crown of thorns they put it on him. And they began to salute him, "Hail, King of the Jews!" And they struck his head with a reed, and spat upon him, and they knelt down in homage to him. And when they had mocked him, they stripped him of the purple cloak, and put his own clothes on him. And they led him out to crucify him. -Mark 15:1 7-20

FRIAR: LET US PRAY FOR CREATURES THREATENED WITH EXTINCTION

God of all life and beauty, we turn to you with humble hearts.

Soften and transform us, that we may truly cherish and protect the fragile web of life you have lovingly created. Open our eyes to recognise your presence reflected in the rich diversity of creatures — in their wonder, their uniqueness, and their place within the harmony of creation.

Grant us the grace of conversion. Show us what must change in our lifestyles, in our patterns of production and consumption, and in the systems that shape our world. Give us clarity to see, courage to turn away from harmful habits, and perseverance to choose responsibility and restraint.

Form in us the virtues of gratitude, simplicity, and solidarity. Strengthen us to live as faithful stewards, practising care for creation not only in great initiatives, but in small and consistent acts of love each day.

Shape us more fully in your image and likeness, that our love for you may be reflected in reverent care for every creature. May our lives bear witness to a generous and creative love — a love that honours you by safeguarding all that you have made.

We make this prayer through Christ our Lord. Amen.

Pause

FRIAR: LET US PRAY ON THE EXTINCTION OF BIODIVERSITY

God of all Creation, we come before you aware of the loss unfolding in our world.

Forgive us when we have treated your creatures merely as resources for our use, forgetting that each being has its own worth before you. Open our eyes to recognise the sacred value woven into every part of creation, beyond profit, productivity, or convenience.

We grieve the countless plant and animal species that have disappeared — many unknown to us, many never to be seen by future generations. Through human actions, voices that once gave you glory by their very existence have fallen silent. Have mercy on us for the harm we have caused, and teach us reverence for life in all its forms.

Hear the cry of the earth and the cry of the poor, calling us to a different path. Save us from despair, and lead us instead to true conversion.

You entrusted the earth to our care so that it might reflect your desire for harmony, peace, beauty, and fullness of life. Make us instruments of your restoring love. Help us to choose protection over exploitation, responsibility over indifference, and hope over neglect.

We make this prayer through Christ our Lord. Amen.

LEADER: Simeon blessed them and said to Mary his mother, "Behold, this child is set for the fall and rising of many in Israel, and for a sign that is spoken against (and a sword will pierce through your own soul also) that thoughts out of many hearts may be revealed:' And his mother kept all these things in her heart. -Luke 2:34-35, 51

Pause

FRIAR: LET US PRAY FOR THE CRY OF THE EARTH AND THE CRY OF THE POOR

God of all Creation, we turn to you in humility and trust.

Draw us close to the heart of Mary, our Mother. As she cared tenderly for Jesus in his earthly life, she now embraces this wounded world with maternal love and sorrow. Through her pierced and compassionate heart, teach us to see as she sees and to love as she loves.

We lift before you the suffering of the poor, crucified by injustice, and the earth itself, scarred by greed and misuse of power. United with her Son’s redeeming love, Mary shares in the pain of every creature that suffers. Through her intercession, awaken in us a deeper compassion.

Grant us eyes to recognise what is broken, courage to face uncomfortable truths, and hearts that refuse indifference. Open our ears to hear the cry of the earth and the cry of the poor.

May these cries stir us to loving action rather than despair. Guided by Mary’s faith and courage, make us instruments of healing, justice, and hope for our common home.

We make this prayer through Christ our Lord. Amen.

LEADER: Fifth Station Simon Helps Jesus Carry the Cross

FRIAR: We adore you, 0 Christ, and we bless you ...

ALL:  Because by your holy cross you have redeemed the world.

LEADER: Let us consider Jesus looking deep into the eyes of Simon the Cyrenian. Simon's arms meet the arms of Jesus, wrapped around the Cross. Simon can feel the exhaustion of Jesus' body begging for help. As their eyes meet, and their arms intertwine, Jesus whispers the words of Psalm 69 to Simon. (Pause)

Let not those who hope in you be put to shame through me

O LORD God of hosts;

Let not those who seek you be brought to dishonor through me,

O God of lsrael.

For zeal for your house has consumed me, and the insults of those who insult you have fallen on me.

Pause

FRIAR: LET US PRAY ON OUR DISCONNECTION FROM THE WEB OF CREATION

God of all Creation, we come before you aware of how often we have lived as though we were separate — separated from the earth, from one another, and from your loving design.

Forgive us for the ways we have fractured what you created in harmony. Draw us back into right relationship: with creation, with our brothers and sisters, and with you, our Creator.

Teach us that caring for our common home requires more than isolated efforts. Unite the whole human family in seeking a development that is sustainable and integral — one that honours human dignity and protects the natural world. Strengthen our hope, knowing that you do not abandon your creation and that you continue to work through us.

Renew in us the conviction that we are one human family. Remove from our hearts the barriers of indifference, selfishness, and division. Let no border, interest, or fear excuse us from responsibility for one another.

Awaken in us a deeper sense of belonging — to each other and to the delicate web of life you sustain. Grant us unity, courage, and hope, that we may act together for the healing of our common home.

We make this prayer through Christ our Lord. Amen.

FRIAR: We adore you, 0 Christ, and we bless you ...

ALL: Because by your holy cross you have redeemed the world.

LEADER: He had no form or comeliness that we should look at him, and no beauty that we should desire him. He was despised and rejected by men; a man of sorrows, and acquainted with grief; and as one from whom men hide their faces he was despised, and we esteemed him not. -Isaiah 53:2-3

Pause

FRIAR: LET US PRAY FOR AWARENESS AND A HEART THAT SHARES IN SUFFERING

God of all Creation, we come before you seeking not information alone, but transformation of heart.

Teach us that true awareness is more than knowledge; it is the grace to see with compassion and to feel the wounds of the world as our own. Open our hearts to a deeper understanding of what is happening to our common home and to the poor who suffer most.

Give us courage to face these realities without turning away. Free us from indifference. Allow the pain of creation and the cries of the vulnerable to touch us, disturb us, and lead us to genuine conversion. Help us to understand that compassion is not weakness, but a sharing in your own loving concern for all that you have made.

Though we are limited and imperfect, your boundless love sustains us. You have created us for love. Stir within us generosity, solidarity, and tender care, so that our awareness may give birth to action and our sorrow may grow into faithful commitment.

We make this prayer through Christ our Lord. Amen.

LEADER: Be gracious to me, 0 LORD, for I am in distress; my eye is wasted from grief, my soul and body also. For my life is spent with sorrow, and my years with sighing; my strength fails because of my misery, and my bones waste away. -Psalm 31:9-10

Pause

FRIAR: LET US PRAY ON CLIMATE CHANGE

God of all Creation, you entrusted the climate of our planet as a shared gift, sustaining every person and every living being. You fashioned a delicate balance that makes life possible, and you called it good.

We confess that through our patterns of production, consumption, and lifestyle, we have contributed to the disruption of this balance. As the earth warms, the seas rise, and extreme weather increases, awaken in us a sense of moral responsibility. Lead us to conversion — not only in prayer, but in the practical choices of daily life.

Guard us from placing economic gain above human dignity and the integrity of creation. When markets become absolute and profit becomes the only measure, the vulnerable are forgotten — the poor and the earth alike. Purify our priorities, Lord, and restore justice to our decision-making.

Yet we do not pray in fear, but in hope. Each of us is conceived in your loving heart, willed, loved, and necessary. Because we are created in love, we are capable of choosing differently. Make us guardians rather than exploiters, collaborators rather than competitors, protectors rather than destroyers.

May our renewed awareness lead to responsibility, and our responsibility to faithful action, so that our common home may continue to reflect your beauty, goodness, and glory.

We make this prayer through Christ our Lord. Amen.

LEADER: We adore you, O Christ, and we bless you ...

ALL: Because by your holy cross you have redeemed the world.

LEADER: But Jesus turning to them said, "Daughters of Jerusalem, do not weep for me; but weep for yourselves and for your children. For behold, the days are coming when they will say, 'Blessed are the barren, the wombs that never bore and the breasts that never nursed!' Then they will begin to say to the mountains, 'Fall on us'; and to the hills, 'Cover us.' For if they do this when the wood is green, what will happen when it is dry?" -Luke 23:28-31

Pause

FRIAR: LET US PRAY ON CONFLICT AND WAR

God of peace and Lord of all Creation, we confess that harmony between you, humanity, and the earth has been wounded by our pride. We have forgotten our limits and sought to dominate rather than to care. What you entrusted to us as stewardship, we have too often turned into control and conflict — within our hearts, among peoples, and against the earth itself.

Heal the divisions we have created. Purify the desires that lead to violence against both creation and one another. Remind us that we have only one heart: when we harm the earth, we harm our neighbour; when we sow injustice, we reap unrest.

Teach us that peace, justice, and care for creation are inseparable. Form in us a spirit that defends human dignity, safeguards the vulnerable, and reverences the gift of the earth.

Turn us from domination to stewardship, from hostility to communion, from violence to reconciliation. Make us instruments of your peace, so that all creation may live in harmony and give you glory.

We make this prayer through Christ our Lord. Amen.

FRIAR: LET US PRAY ON POLLUTION AND WATER

God of all Creation, you call the earth, the waters, the sun and moon, and all the stars to praise you. By your loving command, all things came into being, and in you they continue to exist. We live not apart from you, but with you and through you, and so we lift our hearts in worship and gratitude.

Yet we confess that we have wounded what you declared good. Polluted rivers, poisoned air, and degraded lands reveal how far we have strayed from our vocation as caretakers. Forgive us for the harm we have caused — not only through technical failure, but through moral weakness and spiritual indifference.

Cleanse our hearts, for the roots of this crisis lie within us. Teach us that lasting change requires conversion. Help us to replace excess with sacrifice, greed with generosity, and waste with a spirit of sharing. Form in us a loving discipline that seeks not only to give things up, but to give ourselves in service.

Turn us gently from “what I want” to “what your world needs.” May our care for water and all creation become an act of praise, a sign of gratitude, and a faithful expression of love for you.

We make this prayer through Christ our Lord. Amen.

LEADER: When the soldiers had crucified Jesus, they took his garments and made four parts, one for each soldier; also, his tunic. But the tunic was without seam, woven from top to bottom; so they said to one another, "Let us not tear it, but cast lots for it to see whose it shall be:' -John 19:23

Pause

FRIAR: LET US PRAY FOR WISDOM IN THE FACE OF DEPLETING NATURAL RESOURCES

God of all Creation, you have filled the earth with abundance and entrusted its riches to our care.

Grant us a global vision, that we may recognise how our patterns of consumption and our economic systems affect the earth and the lives of others. Open our eyes to the far-reaching consequences of our choices.

At the same time, give us a local vision — attentive to the concrete realities of our communities. Teach us to respect cultures and circumstances different from our own, and to listen humbly to the wisdom of peoples, especially Indigenous communities, who have long lived in harmony with the land.

We confess that our technological power has grown faster than our moral responsibility. We often lack the discipline and wisdom to govern what we have unleashed. In our excess, we strip the earth of its resources, ignore the suffering of the poor, and forget the needs of future generations — forgetting that all is gift, flowing from your boundless generosity.

Awaken in us gratitude, restraint, and solidarity. Lead us toward simpler living and just sharing, so that the riches of the earth may be preserved and cherished for all your children, today and tomorrow.

We make this prayer through Christ our Lord. Amen.

FRIAR: LET US PRAY TO ERADICATE ABUSE AND HUMAN TRAFFICKING

God of all Creation, we cry out to you as our Sister Earth groans under the weight of exploitation and abuse. Forgive us for the times we have acted as masters rather than stewards, taking without gratitude and consuming without restraint. The earth, wounded and burdened, joins the suffering of all who are forgotten and oppressed.

Cleanse our hearts of the spirit of domination that harms both land and people. When we reduce creation to profit, we begin to reduce human beings to commodities. We grieve the trafficking of women, men, and children — a grave violation of the sacred dignity you have placed in every human life.

Lord, you do not abandon your creation. Call us to conversion and courageous action. Make us instruments of your justice and compassion. Strengthen us to protect the vulnerable, defend the oppressed, and challenge every structure that profits from exploitation.

Restore what has been broken. Heal what has been wounded. Until every person is treated with dignity and freedom, and all creation resounds once more with your praise.

We make this prayer through Christ our Lord. Amen.

When Jesus had received the vinegar, he said, "It is finished"; and he bowed his head and gave up his spirit. -John 19:28-30

FRIAR: LET US PRAY AS WE STAND BEFORE A WOUNDED EARTH

God of all Creation, you who called the universe into being from nothing, remain Lord over history and over every wounded corner of our world. No darkness is beyond your light; no evil is beyond your redeeming power. Injustice and destruction do not have the final word.

When we see forests laid waste, waters polluted, species lost, and communities broken, we confess that we are tempted to despair. Yet you remind us that hope is never extinguished where even one heart chooses goodness. A single act of love, inspired by your grace, can begin the work of healing.

We thank you for revealing this hope most fully in Jesus Christ, your Son. He entered our wounded world, bore its suffering, and through his death and resurrection opened the path to renewal. In him, we trust that restoration is possible.

Strengthen us to be bearers of that hope. Make us courageous in goodness, steadfast in compassion, and faithful in caring for our common home. Help us to trust that your grace can bring new life even where death seems to reign.

We make this prayer through Christ our Lord. Amen.

LEADER: Thirteenth Station, The Body of Jesus Is Taken Down from the Cross

LEADER: We adore you, 0 Christ, and we bless you ....

ALL: Because by your holy cross you have redeemed the world.

LEADER: Since it was the day of preparation, in order to prevent the bodies from remaining on the cross on the sabbath (for that sabbath day was a high day), the Jews asked Pilate that their legs might be broken, and that they might be taken away. So, the soldiers came and broke the legs of the first, and of the other who had been crucified with him; but when they came to Jesus and saw that he was already dead, they did not break his legs. But one of the soldiers pierced his side with a spear, and at once there came out blood and water. For these things took place that the Scripture might be fulfilled, "Not a bone of him shall be broken:' -John 19:31-34, 36

FRIAR: LET US PRAY FOR ENVIRONMENTAL MIGRANTS AND REFUGEES

God of all Creation, we lift before you all who are displaced by climate change and environmental destruction.

You see the communities whose lands have been scarred, whose seas have risen, whose harvests have failed. The poorest are often the most affected, relying directly on the land and waters for survival. With few resources and little protection, they bear burdens they did not create.

We pray for families forced to leave their homes as poverty deepens and ecosystems collapse. Many are not recognised, not protected, not welcomed. They carry the grief of losing their homeland, livelihood, and community, while the world too often turns away.

Forgive us for our indifference. Heal the hardness of heart that weakens our sense of shared responsibility. Restore in us the conviction that we are one human family.

Awaken in us compassion that leads to justice, and justice that leads to action. Strengthen us to defend the dignity of every person, especially those forced to flee because our common home has been wounded.

Make us instruments of solidarity, welcome, and hope.

We make this prayer through Christ our Lord. Amen.

FRIAR: LET US PRAY ON FOOD AND HUNGER

God of all Creation, we acknowledge that the destiny of the universe rests in you — a destiny already revealed in the risen Christ, in whom all things find their fulfilment. When we forget this, we lose sight of the true purpose of our progress and the deeper meaning of our work.

Forgive us for treating your creation as though it existed only for our use. Teach us to recognise that all creatures journey together toward you, their source and final fulfilment. In Christ, all things are gathered, reconciled, and brought into light.

Open our eyes to the scandal of hunger in a world of abundance. When food is wasted, it is as if it were taken from the table of the poor. Awaken our conscience to the injustice of scarcity amid plenty. Grant us wisdom to seek just and practical solutions to food insecurity, and the courage to live more simply and share more generously.

You have endowed us with intelligence and love. Draw us out of selfishness and indifference. Make us instruments of nourishment, justice, and hope, so that through us, all creation may be led back to you, our Creator and our fulfilment.

In that heavenly communion, all creation will share in the fullness of life, and every fragment of goodness will be gathered into your eternal feast.

As we journey toward that day, you entrust this earthly home to our care. Help us to cherish it with responsibility and love, knowing that nothing good is lost in you.

United with all creatures, we walk this land seeking your face.
