E I G H T H S TAT I O N :
Jesus Meets the Women of Jerusalem
C. We adore You, O Christ, and we bless You.
P. Because of Your holy Cross You have redeemed the world.
C. A large crowd of people followed Jesus, including many
women who mourned and lamented Him. Jesus turned to
them and said, “Daughters of Jerusalem, do not weep for
Me; weep instead for yourselves and for your children
(Luke 23: 27-28).
Jesus: (C.) Ohowpleasing toMe is living faith! (1420) Tell
all, that I demand that they live in the spirit of faith (353).
S. Faustina: (P.) I fervently beg the Lord to strengthen my
faith, so that in my drab, everyday life I will not be guided
by human dispositions, but by those of the spirit. Oh, how
everything drags man towards the earth! But lively faith
maintains the soul in the higher regions and assigns self-
love its proper place; that is to say, the lowest one (210).
All: Merciful Lord, I thank You for holy Baptism and the
grace of faith. Continuously, I call: Lord, I believe, increase
my faith.
C. You, who suffered wounds for us,
P. Christ Jesus, have mercy on us.
Sung Verse: O thou Mother! Fount of love!
Touch my spirit from above,
Make my heart with thine accord.
