The Station of the Cross
The Way of the Cross at Manresa
Opening Prayer
*Asterisk, indicates pause
All: My Lord Jesus, * I believe that when you gave me the gift of faith in baptism, * divine life, your life filled my soul. * I believe that You dwell in me * and I in You * and that in a mysterious but real way * You have made me one with You. * Because You dwell in me, * 'what I do, I do through You * with You and in You.
Thus, Your Way of the Cross two thousand years ago * and this way of the cross * that I am about to make, are joined, are one way. * Our way of the Cross*
Help me, Lord, to bear my small crosses today * as You bore Your great cross, * with love * and a total acceptance of Your Divine Will. Help me walk with You on the Way of the Cross.
