THE WAY OF THE CROSS |
Adapted from St. Alphonsus Liguori |
Before visiting the Stations, let each
one make an act of contrition and form the intention
of gaining the indulgences, whether for himself or for
the souls in purgatory.
|
ACT OF CONTRITION |
|
My Lord Jesus Christ, Thou
hast made this journey to die for me with love unutterable,
and I have so many times unworthily abandoned Thee; but
now I love Thee with my whole heart, and because I love
Thee I repent sincerely for having ever offended Thee.
Pardon me, my God, and permit me to accompany Thee on
this journey. Thou goest to die for love of me; I wish
also, my beloved Redeemer, to die for love of Thee. My
Jesus, I will live and die always united to Thee.
|
At the cross her station
keeping,
Stood the mournful Mother weeping,
Close to Jesus to the last. |
