Stations of the Cross
Jesus
takes up his Cross
V. We adore thee, O Christ, and we bless thee.
R. Because by thy holy Gross thou hast redeemed the world.
And
he carrying his cross went forth into a place called
the
place
of a
skull,
which is
called
in
the
Hebrew
Golgotha.
Though he was
a
Son, yet learned
he
obedience by
the
things
which he suffered. He
was
led
as a
sheep
to the slaughter;
and
like a
lamb dumb before a shearer,
so
opened
be not
his
mouth.
Worthy is
the
Lamb
that
was
slain to
receive
power, and
riches,
and
wisdom, and strength, and honour, and glory, and blessing.
V. The Lord hath laid on him the iniquity of us all
R. For the transgression of his people was he stricken.
Let us pray.
Almighty God, whose most clear Son went not up to joy but first he suffered pain, and entered not into glory before he was crucified; Mercifully grant that we, walking in the way of the cross, may find it none other than the way of life and peace; through the same thy Son Jesus Christ our Lord. Amen.
