as we reflect on the 14 stations of thecross

let us feel jesus presence among us and try to experience his emotions jesus died on the cross for us to save us from sin because he loves us

let us walk with jesus on the mount of

calvary and experience the will of jesus

to fulfill his purpose

as we walk with jesus

may we call upon each of us

to reflect on our own life and find our purpose

the first station jesus is condemned to death

we adore your christ and we bless you

because by a holy cross you have redeemed the world

as we embrace

our own cross which is heavy with the

weight of our tribulations of the year gone by

let us bring before our eyes the humility and strength of christ to

accept his father's will

some of us accepted the difficult path

and drawed on some of us stand by complaining

jesus unwaveringly accepted the profound

suffering for each and every one of us

what are we ready to do for christ jesus

help us to carry our cross and walk with you

give us the strength and courage

to face all that is inevitable in our life and to do god's will

have mercy on us o lord lord have mercy on us

jesus is laden with the cross

we adore your christ and we bless you

because by the holy cross you have redeemed the world

do you think it was easy for jesus to carry the cross

for us it wasn't he was beaten he was flogged he was

ridiculed soldiers spat on him he was alone

but he quietly suffered unceasingly

and bore the massive burden to redeem us

from the clutches of sin he did all this because he loved us the

cross is a symbol of christ's immeasurable love for us

many things in life are not easy for us too

we are living with our own sufferings

and problems

but the power of christ is greater than

all sufferings and problems jesus

to bear the cross for our sins

pour your mercy upon us lord and fill us with your grace that we may not sin

again have mercy on us o lord lord have mercy on us

of his cross jesus we have gravely sinned and fallen

ourselves closer to you and remain far flung from sin have mercy on us o lord lord have mercy on us in me a clean heart o god and renew our right
