On March 13th. Stations of the Cross in Poem Prayer

  THE STATIONS OF THE CROSS IN POEM PRAYER This devotion includes making a short meditation on the passion of our Lord Jesus Christ at each station. You can walk from station to station as space allows. "Forgive me Lord for I have sinned. Let me follow you so I could amend my life."

 The small sacrifices in our life’s journey are nothing compared to God's love for me, for you;  for us all. "With thy sorrowful mother and my guardian angel draw my heart and all those who have entrusted me for prayers, to you, O Lord Jesus Christ.

Station 1: Jesus is condemned to death 

 

You were betrayed Jesus

People you call your own  

Condemned to death, for us 

A Father’s promise sown

Station 2:  Jesus bears his cross

 

 

Cross, you bear means love

To journey with us, Lord

 

You became man

Mercy for humanity

Sky and earth unite

Miracle flowing sanctity

Station 3:  Jesus falls the first time

 

Lord, let us hold you

Lord, let us rise with you

Power in humility                                    

Shows us to be true

 

No man is perfect

Only God - is

Lord Jesus, as example

If fallen, hold to peace 

 

Jesus on the cross, by your love heals us.

 







 

Station 4:  Jesus meets his mother

 

 

What grief for a mother

What grief for a child

What grief for a beloved

Alone in sorrow, Jesus guides 

 

Feel us Jesus

In sorrow and isolation

But God’s will is best

Have mercy in temptation

 

Jesus on the cross, by your love heal us.

 

 


 

Station 5:  Jesus is helped by Simon

 

Simon of Cyrene, hail to God

Courage and cross you lifted

Bridge to us from heaven 

Angel signs we’re gifted

 

And so we come in prayer

Flesh, thoughts, and our hearts Your holy cross dear Jesus To us don’t ever part.

 

Jesus on the cross, by your love heal us.

 




Station 6:  Veronica wipes the face of Jesus


 

Saint, Oh Saint Veronica 

Ring bells to God’s workers 

Crown of thorns on Holy face

Hope and bliss, His blood carves

 

O, poor Face we love you

Face of  beauty, Face of light

In suffering and brokenness

Sacred Face of  might

 

Jesus on the cross, by your love heal us.

 


 

Station 7:  Jesus falls a second time

 

My Lord! My God! My Savior! We trust our lives in Thee

You know how weak we all are

We beg, we beg, we plea

 

My Lord! My God!

Be here to servants frail

Hold me, hold us

O’er wind we fly, on sea we sail

 

Jesus on the cross, by your love heal us.

 


 

Station 8:  Jesus speaks to the women

 

Help us to love Mother Mary

You longed your  parents, too

The crowd, are us, your family

How precious all to you

 

Speak to us, we long for Thee

The bravest soldier frees From sin and wars

Your words a bomb and keys

 

Jesus on the cross, by your love heal us.





Station 9:  Jesus falls a third time

 

Race and blows

The third’s the final count

Your sacrifice, a painful lash

Forgive our sins abound

 

Hold tight hold, dear Jesus Please - do not let go

These eyes are full of tears

Wash us white as snow

 

Jesus on the cross, by your love heal us.




 

Station 10:  Jesus is stripped of his garments

 

When all is done for love

So fair and pure the nakedness  And all that Christ gave

T’ was peace for all and happiness

 

Strip all, be all

We ask You for nothing

Let You alone fill  us Christ, O Christ be everything!

 

Jesus on the cross, by your love heal us.

 

 


Station 11:  Jesus is nailed to the cross

 

Nails piercing us 

First pierced on you

Nations already won

Sacred Cross on earth anew

 

Man and tides pushing rocks

When life cries in pain 

Trials come harrowing

Lord let Your Kingdom reign.

 

Jesus on the cross, by your love heal us.

How You loved us, Jesus; How great, You are God’s Son:

 

“Father, forgive them, for they know not what they do

Truly, I say to you, today you will be with me in Paradise Woman, this is your son. And this is your mother My God, my God, why have you forsaken me?

I thirst

It is finished.”

 

Then, Jesus cried out in a loud voice

“Father, into your hands I commend my spirit.”

 

Jesus on the cross, by your love heal us.

 




Station 12:  Jesus dies on the cross

 

Tomorrow’s death so scary

Life today we pray

Us - forever with you

With Almighty Father lay

 

Jesus how we love you

Let us see Thy face

Forgive us in transgressions

A Holy Cross wins grace

 

Jesus on the cross, by your love heal us.

 



Station 13:  Jesus is taken from the cross

 

God’s justice stark in love

Priests on temples pray

Breath of  Holy Spirit blows

Forever brothers all we stay

 

Body whole and pure

No evil can defeat

The triumph of the cross

For holy workers banquet

 

Jesus on the cross, by your love heal us.

 

 


 

 

 

Station 14:  Jesus is laid in the tomb


 



Love never fails, never ends

Holy Bible writes

Wake us up dear Jesus

At dawn resurrect flight

 

We adore you O Christ

Have mercy -

Your holy cross, be salvation

In Your heart, with Thee forever, have mercy.  

 

Jesus on the cross , by your love heal us.

We love you.

I love you.

=========

The Lord is my shepherd 

I shall not want

 

My rock, my refuge

I shall not fear

 

We love you.

I love you.

 

 

Let you skull in my head

Your ribs in my body

Your veins in my heart

Your breath in my mouth

Your all in my life
