Station 1: Jesus is Condemned to Death

1. We adore Thee, O Christ, and we bless Thee.

 

1. Because by Thy holy Cross, Thou hast redeemed the world.

 

Consider how Jesus, after having been scourged and crowned with thorns, was unjustly condemned by Pilate to die on the Cross.

 

(Moment of silence for reflection)

 

My adorable Jesus, it was not Pilate, no, it was my sins that condemned Thee to die. I beseech Thee, by the merits of this sorrowful journey, to assist my soul in its journey towards eternity. I love Thee, my beloved Jesus; I repent with my whole heart for having offended Thee. Never permit me to separate myself from Thee again. Grant that I may love Thee always; and then do with me what Thou wilt.
