The Second Station: Jesus receives the cross

We adore you, Christ, and praise you.
Because by your holy cross you have redeemed the world.

Consider how Jesus, in making this journey with the cross on His shoulders, thought of us and offered for us to His Father the death He was about to undergo.

My beloved Jesus, I embrace all the tribulations you have destined for me until death. I beseech you by the merits of the pain you suffered in carrying your cross, to give me the necessary help to carry mine with perfect patience and resignation.

I love you Jesus, my love, above all things;
I repent with my whole heart for having offended you.
Never permit me to separate myself from you again.
Grant that I may love you always,
then do with me what you will.

Our Father Hail Mary Glory Be
