STATION 02 - Jesus is made to carry His Cross

The Way of the Cross STATION 2 - Jesus is made to carry His Cross

Adoration We adore Thee, O Christ, and we praise Thee, because by Thy holy cross, Thou hast redeemed the world.

Meditation When our divine Savior beheld the cross, He most willingly stretched out His bleeding arms, lovingly embraced it, and tenderly kissed it, and placing it on His bruised shoulders, He, although almost exhausted, joyfully carried it.

Prayer

O my Jesus, I cannot be Thy friend and follower, if I refuse to carry the cross. O dearly beloved cross! I embrace thee, I kiss thee, I joyfully accept thee from the hands of my God. Far be it from me to glory in anything, save in the cross of my Lord and Redeemer. By it the world shall be crucified to me and I to the world, that I may be Thine forever. Our Father

Hail Mary

Glory Be Lord Jesus, crucified, have mercy on us!

Sabat Mater Through her heart, His sorrow sharing All His bitter anguish bearing, Now at length the sword has passed.
