The First Station

 Jesus is Condemned to Death

I adore Thee O Christ
and I bless Thee

Because by Thy holy Cross
Thou hast redeemed the world

Stations of the Cross, St. Matthew's Douglas. 1st Station.

It was for my sins, O blessed Jesus thou wast condemned to die.
O grant that I may detest them from the bottom of my heart, and by this repentance obtain thy mercy and pardon. Amen

Jesus is dragged before Pilate, his back torn with scourges, his head crowned with thorns; and he,
who on the last day will judge the living and the dead,
is himself condemned
to a shameful death.

O God, I love thee with my whole heart and above all things, and am heartily sorry that I have offended thee. May I never offend thee any more. O may I love thee without ceasing, and make it my delight to do in all things thy most holy will. Amen

The Lord's Prayer

Have mercy upon me, O Lord
Have mercy upon me

May the souls of the faithful
to the mercy of God
rest in peace. Amen
