Biblical Stations of the Cross
Opening prayer:
God of power and mercy,
in love you sent your Son
that we might be cleansed of sin
and live with you forever.
Bless us as we gather to reflect
on his suffering and death
that we may learn from his example
the way we should go.
We ask this through that same Christ, our Lord.
Amen.
We adore you, O Christ, and we bless you.
Because by your holy cross you have redeemed the world.

21 And they compelled a passer-by, Simon of Cyrene, who was coming in from the country, the father of Alexander and Rufus, to carry his cross.
Mark 15:21 ESVUK
Lord Jesus, help us walk in your steps.
Please pause and reflect on the reading and picture.
Lord,
grant us willing spirits
that we may be your instruments on earth.
Closing Prayer
Lord Jesus Christ,
your passion and death is the sacrifice that unites earth and heaven
and reconciles all people to you.
May we who have faithfully reflected on these mysteries
follow in your steps and so come to share your glory in heaven
where you live and reign with the Father and the Holy Spirit
one God, for ever and ever.
Amen.
