Stations of the Cross

The Cross is laid upon Simon of Cyrene

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

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

And as they came out, they found a man of Cyrene, Simon by name, coming out of the country, and on him they laid the cross, that he might bear it after Jesus. If any man will come after me, let him deny himself, and take up his cross and follow me. Take my yoke upon you, and learn of me; for my yoke is easy, and my burden light.

V. Whosoever doth not bear his cross and come after me.

R. Cannot be my disciple.

Let us pray.

O God, whose blessed Son did overcome death for our salvation: Mercifully grant that we who have his glorious passion in remembrance may take up our cross daily and follow him; through the same thy Son Jesus Christ our Lord. Amen.
