I. Jesus Condemned to Death
O Jesus! So meek and uncomplaining,
teach me resignation in trials.

II. Jesus Carries His Cross
My Jesus, this Cross should be mine, not Yours;
it was my sins that crucified You.

III. Our Lord Falls the First Time
O Jesus! By this first fall, never let me fall into mortal sin.

IV. Jesus Meets His Mother
O Jesus! may no human tie, however dear,
keep me from following the road of the Cross.

V. Simon the Cyrenean Helps Jesus Carry His Cross
Simon unwillingly assisted You;
may I with patience suffer all for You.

VI. Veronica Wipes the Face of Jesus
O Jesus! You did imprint Your sacred features upon Veronica's veil;
stamp them also indelibly upon my heart.

VII. The Second Fall of Jesus
By Your second fall, preserve me, dear Lord, from relapse into sin.

VIII. Jesus Consoles the Women of Jerusalem
My greatest consolation would be to hear You say: "Many sins are forgiven,
because You had loved much."

IX. Third fall of Jesus
O Jesus! when weary upon life's long journey,
be my strength and my perseverance.

X. Jesus Stripped of His Garments
My soul has been robbed of its robe of innocence;
clothe me, dear Jesus, with the garb of penance and contrition.

XI. Jesus Nailed to the Cross
You forgive Your enemies, my God,
teach me to forgive injuries and forget them.

XII. Jesus Dies on the Cross
You are dying, my Jesus, but Your Sacred Heart
still throbs with love for Your sinful children.

XIII. Jesus Taken Down from the Cross
Receive me into your arms, O Sorrowful Mother,
and obtain for me perfect contrition for my sins.

XIV. Jesus Laid in the Sepulchre
When I receive You into my heart in Holy Communion, O Jesus,
make it a fit abiding place for Your adorable Body.

Amen
