| JESUS CARRIES THE CROSS |
| LORD, GRANT ME THE GRACE OF PATIENCE IN TIMES OF TRIBULATION |
| Our Father... 1. When they had finished making a fool of him, they stripped Jesus of the cloak, dressed him in his own clothes, and led him off to crucifixion. (Mt. 27: 31) - Hail Mary... 2. On their way out they met a Cyrenian named Simon. This man they pressed into service to carry the cross. (Mt. 27: 32) - Hail Mary... 3. A great crowd of people followed him, including women who beat their breasts and lamented over him. (Lk. 23: 27) - Hail Mary... 4. Jesus turned to them and said: "Daughters of Jerusalem, do not weep for me. Weep for yourselves and for your children." (Lk. 23: 28) - Hail Mary... 5. Two others who were criminals were led along with him to be crucified. (Lk. 23: 32) - Hail Mary... 6. Upon arriving at the site called Golgotha, (a name which means Skull Place), they gave him a drink of wine flavored with gall, which he tasted but refused to drink. (Mt. 27: 33-34) - Hail Mary... 7. When they had crucified him, they divided his clothes among them by casting lots; then they sat down there and kept watch over him. (Mt. 27: 35-36) - Hail Mary... 8. "Whoever wishes to be my follower must deny his very self." (Lk. 9: 23) - Hail Mary... 9. "He must take up his cross every day and follow in my steps." (Lk. 9: 23) - Hail Mary... 10. "Whoever would save his life will lose it, whoever loses his life for my sake, will save it." (Lk. 9: 24) - Hail Mary... Glory be to the Father, and to the Son, and to the Holy Spirit. As it was in the beginning, is now, and ever shall be, world without end. Amen. O my Jesus, forgive us our sins. Save us from the fires of Hell; lead all souls into Heaven, especially those in most need of Thy mercy. Amen. Continue Main Page |
