JESUS IS CONDEMMED TO DEATH

FIRST  STATION
We adore Thee, O Christ, and we praise you.

Because by your holy Cross you have redeemed the world

In the morning, the chief priests, elders, scribes, and the whole council, binding Jesus, led him away and took him to Pilate. And they all condemned him, saying: He is guilty of death; we have found this man saying that He is Christ the King. And Pilate, sitting in the place of judgment, handed Jesus over to them to be crucified.

God spared not his only Son.

But delivered him up for all of us.

Let Us Pray

0 Lord Jesus Christ, / you came down upon earth from the glory of the Father in heaven, / and shed your precious blood for the remission of our sins. / We humbly pray that, on the day of judgment / you may find us worthy to be placed at your right hand, and to hear your words:   Come, you blessed of my Father! / This we ask of you now living and reigning for ever.
Amen.

WHO, ON CHRIST S DEAR MOTHER GAZING, PIERCED BY ANGUISH SO AMAZING, BORN OF WOMAN, WOULD NOT WEEP ?
