Stations of The Cross

2nd Station - Jesus Accepts His Cross

V. We adore you, O Christ, and we praise you;
R. Because by your holy cross you have redeemed the world.

From John chapter 19 vs 17

Jesus was led away, carrying the cross by himself. (Jn 19:17)

Reflection:

Just as Jesus embraced the cross out of love for us so we must put up with the trials and contradictions we meet in following Him. Thus our individual cross can become a means of salvation for us.

Family Prayer:

When we are faced with a pressing family problem, like a seriously sick child or the loss of a job, we question, “Why me, God?” or “Why us?”. Help us like Jesus to accept the cross with love and bear our trials as a prayer for the salvation of souls. We love you God.

1 Our Father - 1 Hail Mary - 1 Glory Be ...

O Jesus Crucified - for us you suffered - for us you died - on the cross
