O Jesus Crucified!
Help us to carry our cross as You carried Yours!
Way of the Cross of Repentance
by Blessed Canon Alfred Weber
Preparatory Prayer.
O
Jesus!
We
are
going
to
walk
with
You
on
the
road
to
Calvary
which
was
so
painful
for
You.
Make
us
understand
the
greatness
of
Your
sufferings,
touch
our
hearts
with
a
tender
compassion
at
the
sight
of
Your
torments,
so
that
may
increase
in
us
the
regret
of
our
faults
and
the
love
we
want
to
have
for
You.
Please
apply
to
us
all
the
infinite
merits
of
Your
Passion,
and
in
memory
of
Your
sufferings,
have
mercy
on
the
souls
in
Purgatory,
especially
on
those
who are most abandoned.
O
divine
Mary,
who
first
taught
us
to
walk
the
Way
of
the
Cross,
obtain
for
us
the
grace
to
follow
Jesus
with
the
sentiments
with
which
Your
Heart
was
filled
while
accompanying
Him
on
the
road
to
Calvary.
May
we
weep
with
You,
and
love
Your
divine
Son
as
You
do.
We
ask
this
in
the
name
of
His
adorable
Heart.
Amen.
O
my
soul!
you
knew
the
greatness
and
the
kindness
of
Jesus…
And
yet,
how
many
times,
like
Pilate,
you
sacrificed
Him
cowardly
to
the
demands
of
your
passions!…
