\section{Background} |
|
|
|
|
|
Stations of the Cross, also called Way of the Cross, also known as the Way of sorrows refers to a series of 14 pictures or carvings portraying Jesus Christ, from his condemnation by Pontius Pilate, to the day of his crucifixion then to his entombment, and for each picture an accompanying prayer. The stations grew out of imitation of “Via Dolorsa” Latin for the “Way of Grief”, “Way of Sorrow”, or simply “Painful Way” is a processional route in the old city of Jerusalem. The winding route from the Antonia Fortress west, to the Church of the Holy Sepuchre, which is believed to be the actual path Jesus walked. The object of the station is to help the Christians faithful to make a spiritual pilgrimage through contemplation of the passion of Christ. It has become on of the most popular devotions and stations can be found in many Western Christian churches, including Anglican, Lutheran, Methodist, and Roman Catholic. The 14 Images are arranged in number order along a path and the faithful travel from image to image, in order, stopping at each station to say the selected prayer and reflections. \cite{about} |

\subsection{Prayer Environment} |
|
|
|
\begin{itemize} |
|
|
|
\item The presiding minister may be a priest, deacon, or layperson. |
|
\item This minister prays the opening and closing prayers, leads the acclamation, announces the stations, and says the prayer that concludes each station. |
|
\item One or more readers may read the Scriptural reflections. |
|
\item A period of silence should be observed between the Scripture reading and the prayer. |
|
\item A crossbearer accompanied by two candle bearers may stand in front of each station as it is announced. As the cross- and candle bearers move between the stations, all may sing a verse of the Stabat Mater\cite{StabatMater} or an appropriate antiphon, such as Parce Domine or Crucem Tuam (Berthier, GIA). |

182. There are, besides, other exercises of piety which, although not strictly belonging to the sacred liturgy, are, nevertheless, of special import and dignity, and may be considered in a certain way to be an addition to the liturgical cult; they have been approved and praised over and over again by the Apostolic See and by the bishops. Among these are the prayers usually said during the month of May in honor of the Blessed Virgin Mother of God, or during the month of June to the most Sacred Heart of Jesus: also novenas and triduums, stations of the cross and other similar practices.\footnote{Pope Pius XII.

Then Jesus came with them to a place called Gethsemane, and he said to his disciples, "Sit here while I go over there and pray." He took along Peter and the two sons of Zebedee, and began to feel sorrow and distress. Then he said to them, "My soul is sorrowful even to death. Remain here and keep watch with me." He advanced a little and fell prostrate in prayer, saying, "My Father, if it is possible, let this cup pass from me; yet, not as I will, but as you will." (\bibleverse{Mt}(26:36-39)) |

But he was silent and answered nothing. Again the high priest asked him and said to him, "Are you the Messiah, the son of the Blessed One?" Then Jesus answered, "I am; and 'you will see the Son of Man seated at the right hand of the Power and coming with the clouds of heaven.'" that the high priest tore his garments and said, "What further need have we of witnesses?

It was preparation day for Passover, and it was about noon. And he said to the Jews, "Behold, your king!" They cried out, "Take him away, take him away! Crucify him!" Pilate said to them, "Shall I crucify your king?" The chief priests answered, "We have no king but Caesar." Then he handed him over to them to be crucified. So they took Jesus, and carrying the cross himself he went out to what is called the Place of the Skull, in Hebrew, Golgotha. (\bibleverse{Jn}(19:14-17)) |

When they came to the place called the Skull, they crucified him and the criminals there, one on his right, the other on his left. [Then Jesus said, "Father, forgive them, they know not what they do."] They divided his garments by casting lots. The people stood by and watched; the rulers, meanwhile, sneered at him and said,s "He saved others, let him save himself if he is the chosen one, the Messiah of God." (\bibleverse{Lk}(23:33-55)) |
|
There they crucified him, and with him two others, one on either side, with Jesus in the middle. (\bibleverse{Jn}(19:18)) |

My God, my God, why have you forsaken me,\\far from my prayer, far from the words of my cry?\\O my God, I cry out by day, and you answer me not;\\I cry out by night, and there is no relief for me.\\All my bones are racked.\\My heart has become like wax melting away within my chest.\\My throat is dried up like baked clay, my tongue cleaves to my jaws;\\they have pierced my hands and my feet;\\I can count all my bones.

Lord and Saviour. You have told us that we too must accept crucifixion if we are to accept resurrection with You. Help us to rejoice in the sufferings that come with the fulfillment of our daily duties, seeing in them the royal road of the cross to resurrection. Amen. |

It was now about the sixth hour, and there was darkness over the whole land until the ninth hour, And the sun was darkened, and the curtain of the temple was torn in the middle. Jesus cried out with a loud voice and said, "It is finished. Father, into your hands I commend my spirit." Then, bowing his head, he died. (\bibleverse{Lk}(23:44-46)) (\bibleverse{Jn}(19:30b)) |

But when they came to Jesus and saw that he was already dead, they did not break his legs, but one soldier thrust his lance into his side, and immediately blood and water flowed out. After this, Joseph of Arimathea, secretly a disciple of Jesus for fear of the Jews, asked Pilate if he could remove the body of Jesus. And Pilate permitted it. So he came and took his body.

Almighty and eternal God, on the edge of sadness when all seemed lost, You restored to us the Saviour we thought defeated and conquered. Help us, we beg You, so to empty ourselves of self concern that we might see your hand in every failure and your victory in every defeat. These things we ask in the name of your Son, Jesus Christ, who lives and reigns forever with You in the unity of the Holy Spirit. Amen. |

When the sabbath was over, Mary Magdalene, Mary, the mother of James, and Salome bought spices so that they might go and anoint him. Very early when the sun had risen, on the first day of the week, they came to the tomb. They were saying to one another, "Who will roll back the stone for us from the entrance to the tomb?" When they looked up, they saw that the stone had been rolled back; it was very large. On entering the tomb they saw a young man sitting on the right side, clothed in a white robe, and they were utterly amazed. He said to them, "Do not be amazed! You seek Jesus of Nazareth, the crucified. He has been raised; he is not here. Behold, the place where they laid him. (\bibleverse{Mk}(16:1-6))\\ |

I believe in God, the Father almighty, creator of heaven and earth.\\I believe in Jesus Christ, his only son, our Lord. He was conceived by the Holy Spirit and born of the Virgin Mary. He suffered under Pontius Pilate, was crucified, died, and was buried. He descended to the dead. On the third day he rose again. He ascended into heaven, and is seated at the right hand of the God, the Father Almighty. He will come again to judge the living and the dead.\\I believe in the Holy Spirit, the holy catholic Church, the communion of saints, the forgiveness of sins, the resurrection of the body, and the life everlasting. Amen. |
