Bind us together, Lord, Bind us together
With cords that cannot be broken.

Bind us together with love.

There is only one King;
There is only one Body,
That is why we sing:

Made for the glory of God,

Purchased by His precious Son;
Born with the right to be clean,
For Jesus the victory has won.

You are the family of God,

You are the promise divine;
You are God's chosen desire,
You are the glorious new wine.

We do not ask you, Lord, who is my neighbour,

The bread we offer you is blessed and broken,
and it becomes for us our spirits' food.
Over the cup we bring your Word is spoken;
make it your gift to us, your healing blood.

AMAZING GRACE
Amazing grace! How sweet the sound Page |

That saved a wretch like me! 15
I once was lost, but now am found;
Was blind, but now I see.
'Twas grace that taught my heart to fear,

And grace my fears relieved;
How precious did that grace appear
The hour I first believed.
Through many dangers, toils and snares,

I have already come;
'Tis grace hath brought me safe thus far,
And grace will lead me home.
The Lord has promised good to me,

His word my hope secures;
He will my shield and portion be,
As long as life endures.
Yea, when this flesh and heart shall fail,
And mortal life shall cease,
I shall possess, within the veil,
A life of joy and peace.
The world shall soon dissolve like snow,

The sun refuse to shine;
But God, who called me here below,
Shall be forever mine.
When we've been there ten thousand years,

Bright shining as the sun,
We've no less days to sing God's praise
Than when we'd first begun.

For He tastes like honey in the rock

When I look down, from lofty mountain grandeur
And see the brook, and feel the gentle breeze.

Sent Him to die, I scarce can take it in;
That on the Cross, my burden gladly bearing
He bled and died to take away my sin.

And take me home, what joy shall fill my heart
Then I shall bow, in humble adoration
And then proclaim: "My God, how great Thou art!" Repeat Refrain

Make me a channel of your peace 21
Where there is hatred let me bring your love
Where there is injury, your pardon Lord
And where there is doubt true faith in You
Make ma a channel of your peace

Where there is despair in life let me bring hope
Where there is darkness only light
And where there's sadness ever joy
Oh, Master grant that I may never seek

So much to be consoled as to console
To be understood as to understand
To be loved as to love with all my soul
Make me a channel of your peace

It is in pardoning that we are pardoned
It is in giving to all man that we receive
And in dying that we are born to eternal life

Every eagle flying high
Every worm that wriggles by

So throw your life into his hands,
Day by day discern his plans
God is passionately busy loving you and me

O CROSS ERECTED

O cross erected above the world 35
Cross of our Saviour King (x2)
Fount from which gushed the waters,
Straight from the wound in His side,
Filling our lives with His gift of grace,
Cross of our Saviour King.
O cross sublime and refulgent tree,

Jesus Thru’ thee has saved us,
Great was the price that He paid,
Thou art the folly of love divine,
Cross of our Saviour king.
O cross thou channel of grace divine,

Tree on which death was conquered,
Thou the first altar of love,
Jesus the Lamb gave His life on thee
Cross of our Saviour King.
O cross all honour and praise to thee,

Thou art the sign of victory,
Sign of redemption and life,
Homage and glory belong to thee,
Cross of our Saviour King

PREPARATORY PRAYER
Page |
O Jesus, our adorable Saviour, we now contemplate Your sacred passion. Help 36
us to understand that the sufferings of our life are the continuation of Your
passion. We ask for strength of our souls to go through our passion, in the
spirit with which You went through Yours. Amen.
STATION 1 – JESUS IS CONDEMNED TO DEATH
Leader: We adore You, O Christ, and we bless You.

All: Because by Your Holy Cross, You have redeemed the world.
Leaving the house of Caiaphas, where he had been blasphemed, and the
house of Herod, where he had been been mocked, Jesus is dragged before
Pilate, his back torn with scourges, his head crowned with thorns; and he, who
on the last day will judge the living and the dead, is himself condemned to a
disgraceful death.
Prayer
It was for us that You did suffer, O Blessed Jesus. It was for our sins that You
were condemned to die. Oh, grant that we may detest our sins from the
bottom of our hearts, and obtain your mercy and pardon by repentance.
Our Father in Heaven

Hail Mary
Glory Be
Leader: Have mercy on us, O Lord.

All: Have mercy on us.

STATION 2 – JESUS IS LADEN WITH THE CROSS

Page |
37
A heavy cross is laid upon the bruised shoulders of Jesus. He receives it with
meekness and with a sense of commitment, for it is the instrument with which
he is to redeem the world and to accomplish the mission for which his
heavenly Father has sent him.
Prayer
O Jesus, grant us, by virtue of your cross, to embrace with meekness and
cheerful submission the difficulties of our life, and to be ever ready to take up
our cross and follow You.

Hail Mary
Glory Be


STATION 3 – JESUS FALLS FOR THE FIRST TIME

Page |
38
Bowed down under the weight of the cross, Jesus slowly sets forth on the way
to Calvary, amidst the mockeries and insults of the crowd. His agony in the
garden has exhausted his body. He is lacerated with blows and wounds; his
strength fails Him. He falls to the ground under his cross.
Prayer
O Jesus, who for our sins did bear the heavy burden of the cross and did fall
under its weight, may the thoughts of your suffering make us watchful over
ourselves and save us from any grievous fall into sin.

Hail Mary
Glory Be


STATION 4 – JESUS MEETS HIS BLESSED MOTHER

Page |
39
Still burdened with his cross, and wounded yet more by his fall, Jesus proceeds
on His way. He is met by his loving mother. What a meeting must have that
been! What a sword of anguish must have pierced the mother’s heart! What
must have been the compassion of that Son for his holy mother!
Prayer
O Jesus, by the compassion which You did feel for You Mother, have
compassion on us, and give us a share in her intercession. O Mary, most
afflicted mother, intercede for us that, through the sufferings of your Son, we
may be delivered from eternal death.

Hail Mary
Glory Be


STATION 5 – SIMON OF CYRENE HELPS JESUS TO CARRY THE CROSS

Page |
40
As the strength of Jesus fails, and he is unable to proceed, the executioners

seize and compel Simon of Cyrene to carry His cross. The grace of that cross
changes the Cyrenean’s heart and from the compulsory task, it becomes a
privilege and joy.
Prayer
O Lord Jesus, may it be our privilege to bear our cross. May we glory in
nothing else; by the cross, may the world be crucified unto us, and we unto
the world. May we never shrink from suffering but rather rejoice if we should
be counted worthy to suffer for your name’s sake.

Hail Mary
Glory Be


STATION 6 – VERONICA WIPES THE FACE OF JESUS

Page |
41
As Jesus proceeds along the way covered with the sweat of blood, a woman,
moved with compassion, makes her way through the crowd, and wipes his
face with a handkerchief. As a reward for her piety, the impression of His
sacred countenance is miraculously imprinted upon the handkerchief.
Prayer
O Jesus, may the contemplation of your sufferings move us with deep
compassion. Make us hate our sins and kindle in our hearts, more fervent love
for You. May your image be graven on our minds until we are transformed
into Your likeness.

Hail Mary
Glory Be


STATION 7 – JESUS FALLS BENEATH HIS CROSS, THE SECOND TIME

Page |
42
The pain of his wounds; and the loss of blood increasing at every step of his
way, weakens him; and Jesus falls to the ground for the second time.
Prayer
O Jesus, who did fall a second time beneath the load of our sins and of your
suffering for our sins, how often have we grieved you by our repeated falls
into sin! Oh, may we rather die than ever offend You!

Hail Mary
Glory Be


STATION 8 – JESUS CONSOLES THE WOMEN OF JERUSALEM

Page |
43
At the sight of the sufferings of Jesus, some holy women in the crowd were so
touched with sympathy that they openly bewailed and lamented for Him.
Jesus, knowing the things that would befall Jerusalem because of its rejection
of him, turned to them and said, “Daughters of Jerusalem, weep for
yourselves and for your children”.
Prayer
O Jesus, we mourn and will always mourn for you and for ourselves, for your
sufferings and for our sins which caused them. Oh, teach us to mourn, so that
we may repent and be saved from the dreadful end to those who reject or
neglect you, their God and their all.

Hail Mary
Glory Be


STATION 9 – JESUS FALLS BENEATH HIS CROSS THE THIRD TIME

Page |
44
Jesus has almost arrived at the summit of Calvary, but before he reaches the
spot where he is to be crucified, his strength again fails Him, and he falls the
third time.
Prayer
O Jesus, we entreat you by the merit of this your third and most painful fall, to
pardon our frequent relapses and our long continuance in sin. May the
thought of Your sufferings make us hate our sins more and more.

Hail Mary
Glory Be


STATION 10 – JESUS IS STRIPPED OF HIS GARMENTS

Page |
45
Jesus at last arrives at Golgotha and they prepare to crucify Him. They strip
Him of His garments and mock Him.
Prayer
O Jesus, strip us of all false esteem, conceit and pride and make us humble like
you in this life, so that we share your glory with you in the life to come.

Hail Mary
Glory Be


STATION 11 – JESUS IS NAILED TO THE CROSS

Page |
46
The cross is laid upon the ground and Jesus is stretched upon His bed of
death. With divine dignity and forgiveness, he lets himself be nailed to the
cross. The blows are struck! The blood gushes forth!
Prayer
O Jesus, nailed to the cross, fasten our hearts to the cross, so that we may be
united with you until we yield up our souls to you.

Hail Mary
Glory Be


STATION 12 – JESUS DIES ON THE CROSS

Page |
47
For three hours, Jesus has hung upon His pierced hands. His blood has run in
streams down his body, and onto the ground. In the midst of excruciating
suffering, he has pardoned his murderers, given heaven to the good thief, and
committed his blessed mother to his beloved disciple’s care. His mission of
love has been accomplished. He bows his head and gives up his Spirit to God.
Prayer
O Jesus, we devoutly embrace your saving cross, on which you died so that we
may have eternal life. We hail your cross, and lovingly accept our own.

Hail Mary
Glory Be


STATION 13 – JESUS IS TAKEN DOWN FROM THE CROSS

Page |
48
The multitudes have left the hill of Calvary. There is no one except the beloved
disciple of Jesus and the holy women with Mary, the mother of Jesus. Joseph
of Arimathea and Nicodemus take down the body of Jesus from the cross and
place him in the arms of his afflicted mother.
Prayer
O Mary, mother of Jesus, your grief was so great, being a helpless witness to
the savage way your Son was put to death. By his death and resurrection, we
have become your children in Jesus. Help us by your intercession to be like
your son Jesus.

Hail Mary
Glory Be


STATION 14 – JESUS IS LAID IN THE HOLY SEPULCHRE

Page |
Leader: We adore You, O Christ, and we bless You. 49
The disciples take the body of her dear beloved Son Jesus from his mother,
and place it in the tomb. The tomb is closed and in it the lifeless body remains
until the hour of its glorious resurrection.
Prayer
Lord, Your suffering is over. You have triumphed, though in the eyes of men,
you may seem to have failed. Sin, death and hell have been conquered. The
world is Yours, I am Yours. Be the King of my heart. I surrender myself to your
Holy Will. May Your kingdom come.
Our Father in Heaven, Hail Mary. Glory Be

Concluding Prayer
Heavenly Father, we have contemplated your Son, Jesus, on his Way of the
Cross, in his Spirit which you have gifted to us. We accept our way of the
cross. We know it will lead us to, where it led him to, our resurrection with
him. We thank You for the joy of this vision of faith.
For the intention of the Holy Father,
Our Father in Heaven, Hail Mary, Glory Be

Amazing grace! How sweet the sound Page |

Through many dangers, toils and snares,

The Lord has promised good to me,

Like honey in the rock
