Our Father
Our Father, who art in Heaven; hallowed be Thy
name; Thy kingdom come; Thy will be done on earth as it is in Heaven. Give
us this day our daily bread; and forgive us our trespasses as we forgive
those who trespass against us, and lead us not into temptation; but
deliver us from evil. Amen.
Hail Mary
Hail Mary, full of grace, the Lord is with
you. Blessed art thou among women and blessed is the fruit of thy womb,
Jesus. Holy Mary, mother of God, pray for us sinners now and at the hour
of our death. Amen.
Glory Be
Glory be to the Father, and to the Son,
and to the Holy Spirit, as it was in the beginning, is now and ever shall
be, world without end. Amen. |

I adore you, Jesus, and I
praise you. Because by your holy cross, you have redeemed the world.
Scripture:
Then Pilate handed him over to the Roman
soldiers to be crucified. Jesus was taken away, and he carried his cross
to a place known as "The Skull." (John 19:16-17)
Meditation:
Jesus is given the cross to carry on
his bleeding and bruised shoulders. He takes this cross upon
himself as he takes upon himself all of our sins. Jesus was
forced to carry the burden of the cross. Surely there are those
in the crowd who knew him. They saw the soldiers drop the cross
on his shoulders, but they were worried about themselves. They
didn't protest the rough treatment he received; they didn't come
forward.
Pause for silent reflection:
Jesus, forgive us for the times we
have walked away from the burdens of others. Help us not to be
deaf and blind to their pain. Teach us how to follow you.
