FIFTH STATION
Simon of Cyrene helps Jesus to carry his Cross
Pr.:
We adore You, O
Christ, and we praise You.
(GENUFLECT)
All:
Because by your
holy Cross-You have redeemed the world.
Pr.:
And when they had
mocked Jesus, they took the purple cloak off and put his own clothes on him,
and they led him out to be crucified. Then they forced a certain passer-by,
Simon of Cyrene, coming from the country, to take up his cross. They brought
Jesus to the place called Golgotha, a name meaning 'the place of the skull'.
(Mk. 15,
20 to 22)
(KNEEL AND PAUSE)
All:
With a loud voice
I cry out to the Lord; / with a loud voice I beseech the Lord. / My
complaint I pour out before him; before him I lay bare my distress. / When
my spirit is faint within me, you know my path. / In the way along which I
walk they have hid a trap for me. / I look to the right to see, but there is
no one who pays me heed. / I have lost all means of escape; / there is no
one who cares for my life.
(Ps. 141, 2 to 5)
Pr.:
Let us pray. Lord
Jesus Christ, help us to see in the sufferings and shortcomings of our lives
a share in Your Cross; strengthen and console us in the belief that we bear
all things in union with You, who have taken upon Yourself even our guilt.
All:
Amen.
(STAND)
Sing:
-
Brave but trembling came the woman,
-
None but she would flaunt the Roman,
-
Moved by love beyond her fear.
