How to Pray the Stations
Before each station the person leading says: We Adore You, O Christ, and We Bless You!
Everyone Replies: Because by Your Holy Cross You Have Redeemed the World.
Then each leader names the station, and offers a reflection on it.
Between the stations – The leader will share a story about a Crucifix which is of importance to them. Have you a crucifix thats important to you? Please send us a picture, and a short description of why the Crucifix is special.
After each station we all say together: I love you Jesus, my love above all things. I repent with my whole heart of having offended you. Grant that I may always love you, and then do with me what you will.
Pray the Stations at home using the prayers and meditating for a moment on each station.
