Station II

Jesus takes up His Cross

Leader: O Jesus, let me embrace my own cross, so I may understand better how You suffered for my sins.

Leader: We adore you, O Christ and we praise you.

Response: Because by your Holy Cross you have redeemed the world.

Leader: Carrying His Cross, Jesus went forth to the place called Calvary. Hail, O Christ our King! You alone had pity on the folly of our sins. Obedient to the will of the Father, you are led forth to be crucified, like an innocent lamb to the slaughter. To you be glory; to you be triumph and victory over sin and death; to you the crown of highest honor and acclaim.

All: Our Father, Hail Mary and Glory Be.
