| Stations of the cross preparation prayer |
My Lord Jesus Christ, you have made this journey to die with indescribable love for me, and I have often left you unworthy; But now I love you with all my heart, and because I love you, I sincerely regret having offended you. Forgive me, my god, and let me accompany you on this journey. You will die out of love for me; I also want to die, dear Savior, out of love for you. My Jesus, I will live and die, always united with you. ""

I love you, my beloved Jesus. I sincerely regret insulting you. Never let me separate from you again. Still let me love you; then do whatever you want with me.

A. Because you have redeemed the world through your holy cross.
Consider this first fall of Jesus under his cross. His flesh was torn apart, his head was crowned with thorns, and he had lost a lot of blood. He was so weak that he could hardly walk, but he had to carry this heavy burden on his shoulders. The soldiers brutally beat him, which is why he fell several times during his trip.
ALL: My beloved Jesus, it is not the weight of the cross, but my sins that made you suffer so much. Ah, to the credit of this first fall, save me from the misfortune of falling into mortal sin. I love you, oh my Jesus, with all my heart; I am sorry to have offended you. Never let me separate from you again. Still let me love you; then do whatever you want with me.

Consider the son and mother meeting that took place during this trip. Jesus and Mary looked at each other and their eyes became so many arrows that they hurt those hearts that loved each other so much.

And you, my queen, overwhelmed by pain, receive for me a continuous and tender memory of your son's passion through your intercession. I love you, Jesus, my love. I am sorry to have offended you. Never let me insult you again. Still let me love you; then do whatever you want with me.
