The First Station: Let
us meditate on Jesus being condemned to death
The Lord saved the whole world with the Cross.
◘ Jesus Christ, we adore You and praise You.
The Lord of Love Who was condemned to death, even
though He was innocent!
○ Grant that we may all realize, repenting of our
sins, through the merits of Our Lord's Passion that whenever we judge,
speak ill of, and condemn our neighbors, we make Our Lord stand again on
the humiliating judgment stand and our merits that have been accumulated
collapse.
● Grant that we may examine sincerely whether we have
committed the sins of wounding our neighbors by rejecting them; committing
the sins that cry out to Heaven; trampling others so that I may go higher;
quarrelling with others like devils, even among those who have been
called, in order to become higher; or joining forces with the devil of
division who prevents people from forming unity with each other. As we
promise with contrite hearts not to make the Lord stand again on the
humiliating judgment stand, help us always remain awake and pray.
(Meditate for a while.)
○ "This place is the Way of the Cross which I
personally walk shedding blood together with you. Therefore, if all those
who walk this Way of the Cross open the doors of their hearts widely,
desire sincerely to be united with Me, and pray participating in the pains
that I suffer, they will meet Me and receive spiritual and physical
healings." (The Lord's message on January 18, 2002)
◘ Amen.
Our Father, Hail Mary,
and Glory be.
◘ Mother, we ask you to engrave the Lord's Wounds
deeply into our hearts.
