First
Station: Jesus is condemned to death.
"He/it has been ground because of our
sins", said the holy Writing. Yes, it is well our sins, and
non Pilate, who condemns Jesus to death. However the Savior's death
gives birth us par excellence to life, to the life of the grace
and the glory. Because, says Caïphe, "it was necessary
that only one mourût for the "people's salute.
These same sins, while leading Jesus to the death, also condemn
us. Because if the temporal death surprises us in serious sin, it
gives us the eternal death. Let's make this exercise of the Path
of the Cross therefore, as if we had to die while finishing it.
Let's implore our Savior to permit our temporal death not only is
the principle of an eternal death, but rather the beginning of the
eternal life in the Sky. |

Second
Station: Jesus is put in charge of the cross
Who among us would not be moved of compassion while seeing the
Savior charged of the cross?
Ah! Christian, that you did make? You are
not yourself declared the enemy of the cross? So God puts it on
your shoulders, don't you throw it on the floor point? You whisper,
you complain, you worry, you are not disciple of Jesus - Christ.
Change finally of feelings. While seeing Jesus loaded of the cross,
take the resolution all to suffer henceforth for the one that
suffered so much for you |

Third
Station: Jesus falls for the first time
There is not anybody to sustain the bodies exhausted of the Savior?
Alas! No, no one! And there is Jesus on the floor. The shock has
more deeply again driven in his/her/its head the bloody thorns,
and blood flows to streams on his/her/its cheeks. Who pushed to
Save it to this miserable fall? It is you, sinner. Ah! Unhappy,
you run to the hell. But has Jesus who gets across the road. Stop!
Look at his/her/its face so soft. Yes, my brother, cry your sins
and your savior's fall will revive you to one new life. |

Fourth
Station Jesus meets his Mother
Alas! What martyrdom, in this meeting, for
the cœurses of Jesus and Marie. Marie cries while seeing
the state miserable of his/her/its son, and his/her/its cry are
as thorns that pierce Jesus' heart. Ah! What to do to comfort
Jesus and Marie? I hear whining and sobs everywhere only. The
angels, the holy women, the blessed Virgin, the good Jesus, all
cry. Us only, we would be harder than of the stones! Ah! Also
cry by a real to repent the heart; let's cry our sins, reason
of so many sufferings. |

Fifth
Station: Simon helps Jesus to carry the cross
The executioners don't want to see Jesus
dying before arriving to Mount Calvary. They force the Cyrénéen
then to carry the cross with Him. You would refuse to carry Jesus'
cross! With whisper, with blasphemy you would endure the annoyances
that his/her/its Providence sends you! Very laborious would be
here below your fate. You would moan nevertheless and all your
sufferings would be only therefore the prelude of the eternal
torments in the other vie.Imitez the good Cyrénéen,
while carrying the cross of the test generously with Jesus, your
Savior, |

Sixth
Station: A woman wipes Jesus' face.
A devout woman, paving itself/themselves
a path has shortcoming treads it, approach of Jesus, sad, she/it
contemplates her/its face all dripping of sweat and blood. For
mercy's sake, she/it wiped of her/its veil the adorable face of
the divine Mr.. And the veil carried of it since the sacred empreince.
You, sinners, instead of relieving the Savior, to the example
of this holy woman, you constantly disfigure it by your sins.
Have mercy of our agreeable therefore Redeeming, Convert yourselves
and, by your good actions, engrave henceforth in your cœurs
Jesus' features. |

|
|
Seventh
Station: Jesus falls a second time.
Jesus advances. The executioners always
overwhelm it of strokes, insult it, push it. The Savior falls
again and soil blushed himself of blood. Is it necessary to astonish
us to see the Almighty so weak? Rather think of the enormous weight
of our sins that crushes it. Ah! My brothers, let's tell Jesus
our repentance and our firm resolution of more to commit these
sins, reason of his/her/its falls, ever but to hate them until
the death, as he/it hates them himself. |

Eighth
Station: Jesus speaks to the girls of Jerusalem
Jesus blames the girls of Jerusalem for
their compassions, their merely natural tears. He/it wants supernatural
tears, shooting of a true repentance to have offended God! God
feels more pleasure to see a contrite heart that to contemplate
all more charming marvels of the creation. Who would therefore
like to give to Jesus such a contentment and to receive, for price
of his/her/its tears, an eternal happiness? Cry, my brothers,
but cry sincerely, supernaturally. He/it will reward you of your
tears by a generous forgiveness, and, if you persevere in the
horror of the sin, he/it will grant you, today same, his/her/its
paradise, it is-to - to say the peace, the divine life, and the
hope of the eternal happiness |

Ninth
Station: Jesus falls for the third time
Jesus, overwhelmed of extreme sufferings,
tomb lamentably. His/her/its wounds open up again and cover with
blood the path.
The executioners believe that Jesus is going to die. But no, he/it
lives again.
And this barbarians renewal with fury their jokings and their
strokes.
Alas! these executioners, these are so these Christian dived in
vice that the truths the read terrifying, the death, the judgment,
the eternity, the hell, cannot move anymore. These executioners,
are himself these men that God, according to Paul saint, delivered
to their perverse sense and whose only pleasure is to accumulate
the sin on sin. Ah! Sinners, executioners of Jesus, listen to
god's way. He/it calls you to the repentance. Implore your forgiveness,
you will stand up with Jesus, for, let's hope for it, more to
fall again ever. |

Tenth
Station: Jesus is stripped of his clothes
Cruel executioners, tear the fleshes adorable
of Jesus; hit on the crown of thorns to deepen the wounds of his/her/its
head; torment his/her/its palace of his/her/its innards, while
watering it of gall; expose it, naked like a worm, to the looks
of an impious crowd. Who knows if such a spectacle won't end up
touching your cœurses and to make quit so many outrages?
My God! Did you make so much for me, and that I, me, for you,
make? Am I therefore of stone? Ah! Henceforth I want only to like
to serve and to honor Jesus, my Savior, my Redeemer! |

Eleventh
Station: Jesus is nailed to the cross
Jesus' body, tugged with fury, is nailed
to the cross. Streams of blood stream of his/her/its feet and
his/her/its hands. For whom, my brothers, this redeeming blood?
"The Christ, told us holy Paul, died for all men" But
this divine remedy, capable all to heal, must apply for the sacraments.
Alas! How much refuse to apply it, this remedy, on their wounds,
on the sins of their conscience. Ah! Let's deplore, my brothers,
the immense misfortune of so many sinners. They are held distant
of the sacraments, instead of coming to draw, in these stupendous
fountains, the beneficial waters of the grace. |

Twelfth
Station: Jesus dies on the cross
Oh sky! With what scream, after having prayed
for his/her/its executioners, Jesus throws his last speech: "All
is consumed!" Recognize-you my brothers, in that Crucified,
your Creator and your Savior? Alas! Many seem not to want to recognize
it, because it is impossible to see his/her/its God nailed to
the cross and to continue to live in the sin.
See Jesus! He/it prays for his/its executioners: they don't know
what they make; he/it also prays for you: you crucify it new by
your sins, of grace, reconcile yourselves therefore with the one
that prays for you and stretches you the arms of his/her/its mercy.
Run to him and you will find the forgiveness, life and the eternal
salute. |

Thirteenth
Station: Jesus descended of the cross.
What was the spectacle the pathetic pus,
or the one of Jesus suspended to the cross, or the one of relaxing
Jesus, without life, in the arms himself his/her/its Mother? Poor
Mother! She/it presses on her/its heart his/her/its Son's inanimate
body. Is there therefore for this Mother a more atrocious torment
than the pain to tighten in his/her/its arms the body without
life of his/her/its Son?
Oh hardened cœurses! The Son's sufferings doesn't touch you!
Let yourselves the less touch by those of the Mother! Happy the
soul that delivers himself to Marie, because she/it would not
know how to perish. |

Fourteenth
Station: Jesus is deposited in the tomb
With piety, Joseph, Nicodèmes and
the holy women come to embalm Jesus in his/her/its tomb! The precious
balm that they bring must preserve its body of the material corruption,
this balm is the symbol of the grace. This grace must keep in
our soul the divine life, while preserving it of the corruption
of the sin.
Oh! The precious grace of ever to offend God in the future! Let's
let penetrate it, my brothers, drop by drop, in our soul. Let's
maintain ourselves of it the firm resolution of more to fall again
in the sin, "never again tell some of sin, oh my God, no,
never again, but life in God's grace, to deserve life in the eternal
glory" So either him! |
