THE STATIONS OF THE CROSS

Saturday, March 8, 14

OPENING PRAYER(Asking the Lord to grant you all the Indulgences attached to this Prayer, say)

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.

Amen.
