SCRIPTURAL STATIONS OF THE CROSS
(U.S. Council of Catholic Bishops)
The stations of the cross are based on those celebrated by Pope John Paul II on Good Friday 1991.
They are presented here as an alternative to the traditional stations and as a way of reflecting more
deeply on the Scriptural accounts of Christ's passion.

Before each station:
Minister:
We adore you, O Christ, and we bless you.
All:
Because by your holy cross you have redeemed the world.
After each station:
All:
Lord Jesus, help us walk in your steps.
