Lord Jesus Christ, take me along that holy way you once took to your death, Take my mind, my memory, above all my reluctant heart, and let me see what you once did for love of me and all the world.

We adore you, O Christ, and we bless you.

Because by your Holy Cross, you have redeemed the world.

Eighth Station: The Women of Jerusalem Mourn for Our Lord

Large numbers of people followed him, and of women too, who mourned and lamented him. But Jesus turned to them and said, ‘Daughters of Jerusalem, do not weep for me; weep rather for yourselves and for your children. For the days will surely come when people will say, ‘Happy are those who are barren, the wombs that have never borne, the breasts that have never suckled!’ For if men use the green wood like this, what will happen when it is dry?’ – Luke 23:27-32
