EIGHTH STATION:
Jesus meets the women of Jerusalem

 

 

V. We adore thee, O Christ, and we bless thee.

R. Because by thy holy Cross thou host redeemed the world.

And there followed him a great company of people, and of women, which also bewailed and lamented him. But Jesus turning unto them said, Daughters of Jerusalem, weep not for me, but weep for yourselves, and for your children.

V. They that sow in tears

R. Shall reap in joy.

Let us pray.

Almighty and everlasting God, who hatest nothing that thou hast made, and dost forgive the sins of all those who are penitent; Create and make in us new and contrite hearts, that we, worthily lamenting our sins and acknowledging our wretchedness, may obtain of thee, the God of all mercy, perfect remission and forgiveness; through Jesus Christ our Lord. Amen.

Let me mourn, O Lord, beside thee
For the sins which crucified thee,
While my life remains in me.
