The Second Station

 Jesus receives the Cross

I adore Thee O Christ
and I bless Thee

Because by Thy holy Cross
Thou hast redeemed the world

O Jesus, grant me, by virtue of thy Cross,
to embrace with meekness
and cheerful submission
the difficulties of my state,
and to be ever ready to take up my cross and follow thee. Amen

A heavy Cross is laid
upon the bruised shoulders of Jesus.
He receives it with meekness,
even a secret joy,
for it is the instrument with which
he is to redeem the world

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

Hail Mary. Glory be to the Father

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
