Second Station – Jesus Accepts his Cross

V. We adore You, O Christ, and we praise You. (Genuflect)

R. Because, by Your holy Cross, You have redeemed the world. (Rise)

V. Consider Jesus, walked this road with the Cross on His shoulders, thinking of us, and offering to His Father, in our behalf, the death He was about to suffer.

R. My most beloved Jesus, I embrace all the sufferings You have destined for me until death. I beg You, by all You suffered in carrying Your cross, to help me carry mine with Your perfect peace and resignation. I love You, Jesus my love; I am sorry and repent of ever having offended You. Never let me separate myself from You again. Grant that I may love You always; and then do with me as You will.

(Optional Our Father, Hail Mary, and Glory Be) 

Through her heart, His sorrow sharing, all His bitter anguish bearing, now at length the sword has passed.
