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

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

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
