The Eight Station - The Women of Jerusalem Weep over Jesus

V. We adore You, O Christ, and we bless You.
R. Because by Your holy Cross, You have redeemed the world.


Meditate: Consider how those women wept with compassion at seeing Jesus in such a pitiable state, streaming with blood, as He walked along. But Jesus said to them: Weep not for Me, but for your children.

Pray: My Jesus, laden with sorrows, I weep for the offences I have committed against You, because of the pains they have deserved, and still more because of the displeasure they have caused You, who have loved me so much. It is Your love, more than the fear of hell, which causes me to weep for my sins. My Jesus, I love You more than myself; I repent of having offended You. Never permit me to offend You again. Grant that I may love You always; and then do with me what You will.

Recite: Our Father, Hail Mary, Glory Be
Saw her Son from judgement taken,
Her belov'd in death forsaken
Till His Spirit forth He sent.
