Prayer before the Way of the Cross

My Lord Jesus Christ, Thou hast made this journey to die for me with love unutterable,

and I have so many times unworthily abandoned Thee; but now I love Thee with my whole heart,

and because I love Thee, I repent sincerely for having ever offended Thee.

Pardon me, my God, and permit me to accompany Thee on this journey.

Thou goest to die for love of me; I wish also, my beloved Redeemer, to die for love of Thee.

My Jesus, I will live and die always united to Thee.

After the Stations, say:

5 Our Father...

5 Hail Mary...

5 Glory Be...
