Leader: We Adore You, O Christ, and we praise You,

All: Because by Your Holy Cross You have redeemed the world.

In this Station, we remember the women of Jerusalem weeping over Jesus carrying the Cross. Jesus’ Passion was very sad, especially to Mary, Jesus’ Mother. Jesus told the women, “Weep not for me but for yourselves.”

Think about a time where your loved ones are sad. The best thing you can do in that situation is to comfort them and to make sure that they are okay. This is exactly what Jesus did.

Let us pray, 

Dear Jesus, help us to know the purpose of Your sacrifice. May these Stations help us to remember how you died for us to forgive our sins so we can be with you one day in Heaven. 

We ask this through Christ, our Lord, Amen.
