tion, I will therefore meditate on Thy sufferings, and visit the stations of Thy passions in company with Thy sorrowful Mother and my Guardian Angel, with the intention of promoting Thy honor and saving my soul.
I desire to gain all the indulgences granted for this holy exercise for myself and for the souls in purgatory. O merciful Redeemer, who hast said, "And I, if I be lifted up from the earth, will, draw all things to myself," draw my heart and my love to Thee, that I may perform this devotion as perfectly as possible, and that I may live and die in union with Thee. Amen.
FIRST STATION
Jesus is condemned to death.
Before the prayer at each station say:
V. We adore Thee, O Christ, and bless Thee.
R. Because by Thy holy Cross Thou hast redeemed the world.
