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:
If the world hates you, you know
that it has hated Me before it hated you. If you were of the
world, the world would love its own; but because you are not of
the world, but I chose you out of the world, because of this the
world hates you. Remember the word that I said to you: A slave
is not greater than his master. If they persecuted me,
they will also persecute you. (John 15:18-20)
Meditation:
Jesus, weakened by all his suffering, stumbles and falls on the way to Calvary. He fell in front of the soldiers, in front of people who believed in him, in front of his own mother. He was in this situation because he had spoken out and taken risks for others. Look where it got him. What must he have been thinking as he lost control and fell under the cross. He struggles and rises, despite his pain, to go onward toward his death.
Pause for silent reflection:
Jesus, forgive us for the times we
have shut out others and refused to help. Help us to be aware of
their needs. Teach us how to follow you.
