Sundays
POPE'S PRAYER FOR VOCATIONS
Our Lord Jesus Christ, sublime model of every perfection, who not only
constantly prompts privilege souls to aspire to such a high aim but also stirs
them with the powerful force of your example and the effective impulse of
your grace so that they may follow you on this sublime road. Grant that many
have the knowledge and desire to respond to your sweet inspirations so that
through them they may enjoy your special care and tender predilections.
Grant that there will be no lack of messengers of your charity to represent you
night and day at the foot of the orphan's crib, at the bedside of those who are
suffering and the side of the aged and ill, who perhaps otherwise would not
have anyone on earth to hold out to them a merciful hand. Grant that in
humble schools as well as in high seats of learning, a voice echoing yours will
always resound, teaching the way to heaven and the proper duties to every
man.

Grant that no land, no matter how unfriendly and remote, shall be deprived of
the evangelic calling inviting all peoples to enter your kingdom. May it be
that those flames multiply themselves and grow with which the fire must
spread throughout the world and in which the unblemished holiness of your
church shine in all its splendor.
May it be that gardens of chosen souls will flourish in every region, souls who
will make recompense for men's and faults and implore your mercy through
contemplation and penance. May it be that through the constant immolation of
their hearts, through the snow-white purity of their minds and through the
perfection of their virtues, there will always live on earth that perfect example
of the sons of God which you came to reveal to us.
Send into the ranks of your chosen numerous and good vocations, souls who
are steadfast in firm determination to render themselves worthy of such
singular grace and the holy institution to which they aspire, through strict
observance of religious duties, through assiduous prayer, constant
mortification and perfect bending of their wills to all that which is your will.
Enlighten, O Lord Jesus, many generous souls with the burning light of the
Holy Spirit, who is eternal and substantial love. And through the intercession
of your most loving Mother Mary, enkindle in them the fire of your charity, to
the glory of the Father and the same Holy Spirit, who lives and reign with you
forever and ever. Amen.

Let those who know thy power proclaim, Let Paduans say these are of thee

And to the Spirit in essence one, In persons three be honor done

THE NEW STATIONS OF THE CROSS
First Station: The Last Supper
Leader: We adore you O Christ and we praise you

All: Because by your Holy Cross you have redeemed the world
Reflection:
The Lord Jesus, on the night in which he was betrayed, took bread and after he
had given thanks, broke it and said, “This is my Body, which is for you. Do this
in remembrance of me.” In the same way, after supper, he took the cup saying,
“This cup is the new covenant in my blood, do this, whenever you drink it, in
remembrance of me.” Everytime then you eat of this bread and drink this cup,
you provlaim the death of the Lord, until he comes! (1Cor 11:23-26). Pause for
silent reflection.
Prayer: Lord Jesus, you loved us to the utmost. You loved us to the end. You remain in
the Eucharist to be for us, the food and drink that give eternal life. You remain
with us to be the continuous sign of God’s saving presence in all circumstances
of life. Forgive us Lord, for the times we have failed to appreciate your gift of
self to us and your loving presence in the Eucharist.
Second Station: The Agony in Gethsemani

Reflection: Jesus went out and made his way, as was his custom, to the Mount of
Olives. His disciples accompanied him. On reaching the place, he said to them, “Pray
that you may not be put to the test.” He withdrew from them about a stone’s throw, then
went down on his knees and prayed in these words: “Father, if it is your will, take this
cup from me; yet not my will but yours be done.” In his anguish, he prayed with ever
greater intensity, and his sweats became like drops of blood falling to the ground. Then

he rose from prayer and came to his disciples, only to find them asleep, exhausted with
grief. (Lk 22:39-45)
Prayer: It was along terrible night, Lord. And not one of your disciples found the
strength to keep you company in your agony. Your only strength was your
determination to do the father’s will at all costs. And your solitary agony
continues, even to this day, in the loneliness of those who have no friends, no
home, no hope, no future. Our society is filled with them, but we pretend not to
know and slumber noisily while they die victims of neglect.
Third Station: Jesus before the Sanhedrin

Reflection: The high priest stood up before the court and interrogated Jesus: “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 Almighty and coming with the clouds
of heaven.” At that, the High Priest tore his robes and said: “What further need do we
have of witnesses? You have heard the blasphemy. What is your verdict?” They all
concurred in the verdict, guilty, with its sentence of death. As soon as it was day break
the chief priests, with all the elders and scribes bound Jesus, led him away and handed
him over to Pilate. (Mk 14:60-64; 15:1)
Prayer: Lord Jesus, you are the Judge of all human beings, yet you accepted to be judged
by biased judges. You are the all holy, the only innocent on earth yet you
endured the condemnation of obstinate sinners. And the unfair trial goes on,
duplicated in all the unjust sentences through which the innocent people are
condemned and rascals are acquitted. You are still the victim of these injustices
perpetrated against the weak, the defenceless, the voiceless of our society in
whom you continue to live and suffer.
Fourth Station: The Scourging and Crowning with Thorns

Reflection: Pilate asked the Crowd: “What am I to do with Jesus, the so-calle
Messiah?” They all shouted, “Crucify him!” He said, “Why, what crime has he
committed?” But they shouted the louder, “Crucify him!” After having Jesus scourge,
Pilate delivered him to be crucified. Then the soldiers, weaving a crown out of thorns,
fixed it on his head, and stuck a reed in his right hand. Then they began to mock him by
dropping to their knees before him, saying, “Hail, King of the Jews!” (Mat 27:22-30,
passim)
Prayer: Instigated by your enemies, the mob wanted you dead, dear Jesus, and Pilate
didn’t think it was worthwhile to uphold justice and protect your innocence. So
the mad mob had its way. The Roman soldiers had their way as they reduced
your body to a bleeding wound and crowned your head with thorns and mockery.
And you did not open your mouth in protest. You endured it all, meek, like a
lamb to be slaughtered, silent like the millions of exploited people, oppressed by
the ruthless, while many of us turn a blind eye to such blatant injustices.
Fifth Station: Jesus Receives the Cross

Reflection: When they had finished mocking Jesus, they stripped him of the cloak,
dressed him with his own clothes, and led him off to crucify him. (Mt. 27:31)
Prayer: Dear Lord, the cross was the punishment for criminals and insurgents. Who
could believe that it was placed on the shoulders of the Son of God, the source of
all holiness and goodness? And yet, you accepted it in all humility because you
knew that such was the condition to save us from eternal damnation. The cross
you accepted to carry was our cross – the cross of our sins, the cross of our
weaknesses, our discouragements, our failures, our wickedness. To this very
day, innocent men, women and children are made to bear the cross of other
people’s faults, greed, pride, lust… Grant us the grace dear Lord never to burden
others with our moral defects, and bravely to carry with you the cross of our
daily duty.
Sixth Station: Jesus Falls Under the Weight of the Cross

Reflection: As he staggered along the road to Calvary, Jesus felt crushed by the cross he
was carrying on his shoulders. Much more, perhaps, he was overwhelmed by the savage
jeering of the mob that kept insulting him as if he were a criminal. Exhausted by the
sleepless nights and the tortures he had already endured, Jesus fell to the ground under
the weight of the cross and the moral tortures he has suffered.
Prayer: The distance from the Praetorium to the Calvary was not long, just a few
hundred meters. But it took you long Lord to walk that stretch, staggering
painfully and groping in vain for help. Your strength had long deserted you.
The road was uneven. The crown was merciless. The cross was becoming
heavier and heavier till it weighed you down, down to the dust. Like you, Lord,
so many of us stagger and fall along the hard way of the cross that life becomes
when trials and failures overwhelms us crush us to the ground. When we
stumble and fall, Lord be our support. And when our brothers and sisters seem
unable to carry the burden of their trials, Lord, give us a compassionate heart,
that we may not add insult to injury.
Seventh Station: Simon of Cyrene Carries the Cross of Jesus

Reflection: A man named Simon of Cyrene, the father of Alexander and Rufus, was
coming from the fields. The soldiers pressed him into service to carry the cross of Jesus.
(Mk 15:21)
Prayer: Simon just happened to pass there on his way home from the fields. He was
forced to make a detour - a detour that changed the course of his life. Forced to
carry your cross, Lord Jesus, he himself became a victim of oppression and
injustice. He experienced a share of your pain, Lord, and thus discovered what
life can be if one wants to help others. Send us more Simons of Cyrene, Lord.
Send us people who have the courage to shoulder the crosses of others in
brotherly solidarity and patience. Make us like Simon, Lord. Grant us the
strength and generosity to carry one another’s burden, for our society is crowded
with poor Christs crushed by crosses of all shapes and weights.
Eight Station: Jesus Meets the Pious Women of Jerusalem

Reflection: A great crowd of people followed Jesus, including some women who beat
their breasts and lamented over him. Jesus turned to them and said: “Daughters of
Jerusalem, do not weep for me. Weep for yourselves and for your children. The days
are coming when they will say, ‘Happy are the sterile, the wombs that never bore and the
breasts that never nursed.’ Then they will begin saying to the mountains, ‘Fall on us.’
and to the hills, ‘Cover us’ If they do these things in the green wood, what will happen
to the dry?” (Lk 23:27-31)
Prayer: Lord Jesus, those women of Jerusalem were truly sincere in their sorrow for you.
They were brave enough to follow you along the road to calvary. But you
directed their attention to the cause of their suffering – SIN, and the punishment
which unrepentance would bring down on all. We wish we were as sincere as
they were in lamenting the unfair treatment which you were subjected. And we
wish likewise that we were equally sensitive to the suffering of our neighbor –
especially the squatters, the jobless, the homeless, and all the other victims of
human injustice and exploitation. For it is all these forms of sin which bring
down God’s well-deserved punishments on our society.
Ninth Station: Jesus is Nailed to the Cross

Reflection: When they came to the place called “The Skull,” they crucified Jesus there
together with the two criminals. Jesus said, “Father, forgive them, they do not know
what they are doing.” The people stood there watching and the leaders kept jeering at
him, saying: “He saved others. Let him save himself if he is the Messiah of God, the
chosen one!” (Lk. 23:33-35)
Prayer: Lord, those hands of your which caressed the children, blessed the sick and
chased demons away are now nailed mercilessly to the wood of the cross. Your
feet which had taken you from village to village in an effort to bring the good
news of the Kingdom to all, are now immobilized forever. Your enemies dare
you to come down from the cross. But you don’t. Not because of the nails but
because of your love for us, sinners. It was love which brought you there. It is
love that keeps you there. Lord Jesus, grant us the grace to do our duties out of
love and with love, even when all this resembles the pain of the crucifixion.
Tenth Station: The Repentant Thief

Reflection: One of the criminals hanging in crucifixion blasphemed Jesus: “Aren’t you
the Messiah? then save yourself and us.” But the other one rebuked him, “Have you no
fear of God, seeing that you are under the same sentence? We deserve it after all. We
are only paying the price of what we have done, but this man has done nothing wrong.”
He then said, “Jesus, remember me when you enter upon your reign.” And Jesus replied:
“I assure you, this day you will be with me in Paradise.” (Lk 23:39-43).
Prayer: Lord Jesus, there was so much sincerity in the public confession of the repentant
thief, so much faith and trust in the words he addressed to you. The man really
believed in your mercy. He believed in your Kingdom. And you did not
disappoint him. We often meet people who have done wrong and would like to
begin a new life. Lord, grant that we may always be as well-disposed to them as
you were to the repentant thief. In this way, we too, will end the course of our
life sharing the faith and trust of the good thief, and hearing your promise of
eternal life.
Eleventh Station: Mary and John at the Foot of the Cross

Reflection: Near the cross of Jesus there stood his mother, his mother’s sister, Mary the
wife of Clopas, and Mary Magdalene. Seeing his mother there with the disciple whom
he loved, Jesus said to his mother, “Women, there is your Son.” In turn, he said to the
disciple, “There is your mother.” From that hour onward, the disciple took Mary into his
care.
Prayer: “Suffering, like a sword, shall pierce your heart.” had prophesied old Simeon.
On Calvary, Mary experienced the fulfillment of the prophecy in its fullness.
And once again, she said in her heart, “Let it be done to me as you said.” No
one on earth loved you as your mother did, Lord; nor did you love any other
person on earth as you loved your mother. And she was there, witness and
sharer of your redeeming suffering. By entrusting her to John, you provided for
the remaining days of your mother. by entrusting John to her, you provided for
all mankind, for you gave us all you very own mother as our mother. May we be
as loving children to her as you were.

Twelfth Station: Jesus Dies on the Cross

Reflection: It was now around midday, and darkness came over the whole land until
midafternoon with an eclipse of the sun. Jesus said: “I am thirsty.” They stuck a sponge
soaked in wine on some hyssop and raised it to his lips. When Jesus took the wine, ha
said, “Now it is finished.” He uttered a loud cry and said, “Father, into your hands I
commend my Spirit.” After he said this, he died. (Lk 23:44,46; Jn 19:28-30)
Prayer: We were all condemned to die because of our sins, and you took upon yourself
the death penalty that you alone did not deserve. You had only one life, dear
Lord, like all of us, and you gave it up of your own free will, that we might live
forever. It was our sins, it was your love for us that killed you, dearest Jesus.
Before you breathed your last you said you were thirsty – thirsty for love. Today
we offer you the solace of your repentant love, Lord. We want to love you for
all those who refuse to love. And may we, at the end of our stormy life, die
confidently pronouncing your last words, “Father, into your hands I commend
my spirit!”
Thirteenth Station: Jesus is Laid in the Tomb

Reflection: When evening fell, a wealthy man – Joseph of Arimathea, arrived. He was
another of Jesus disciples, and had gone to request the body of Jesus. thereupon, Pilate
issued an rder for its release. Taking the body, Joseph wrapped it in fresh linen, and laid
it in his own new tomb which had been hewn from a formation of rock. Then he rolled a
huge stone across the entrance of the tomb and went away. (Mt 27:57-60)
Prayer: Lord Jesus, the dark night of death has engulfed you. The only bright lights are
the tender love of your mother, the faithfulness of John and the friendship of
Joseph of Arimathea and few others. You are laid in the tomb like a precious
treasure placed in a chest, like a seed hidden in the soil. Your burial gives
meaning and hope to our burials. Thanks to you, they have become the tranquil
sleep in the lap of mother earth, trustfully awaiting the joyful awakening when
the dawn of our resurrection will break the fetters of death forever.

Fourteenth Station: Jesus Rises from Death

Reflection: After the Sabbath, as the first day of the week was dawning, Mary
Magdalene came with the other Mary to inspect the tomb. Suddenly, there was a mighty
earthquake, as the angel of the Lord descended from heaven. He came to the stone,
rolled it back and sat onit. Then the angel spoke, addressing the women: “Do not be
frightened. I know you are looking for Jesus the crucified. He is not here. He has been
raised, exactly as he promised. Go quickly and tell his disciples, ‘He has been raised
from the dead’.” (Mt. 28:1-6)
Prayer: Jesus, your holy body could not undergo the corruption of the sepulcher. The
tomb could not hold you longer than it was needed to prove that your death was
real. Now the shattered seals, the entrance stone rolled back, the testimony of
the angel prove that your resurrection is real. They also prove in advance that we
too shall rise. Your resurrection Lord is the pattern of our resurrection even
now. It is a challenge for all of us to rise, from the death of sin to the life of
grace. Jesus, you are the Lord of the living. Thank you Lord for dying for us.
Thank you for rising for us.

Teach me to love them sincerely in imitation of Jesus Christ, not because of their words
or their deeds but because of themselves, discovering in each of them, especially in the
weakest, the mystery of your infinite love.
I thank you father for you have given me sisters. All of them are gift for me, a true
sacrament, tangible and efficacious sign of the presence of your Son.
Give me the eyes of Jesus to look at them. Give me the heart of Jesus to love them till
the end. Because, I, too, like to be for each of them, a living sacrament of the presence
of Jesus. Amen
