St. Leonard
The Stations of the Cross
Preparatory Prayer
Kneeling before the altar
Though many saints were devoted to the Way of the Cross, perhaps no one did more to promote it than St. Leonard of Port Maurice. A Franciscan priest, he preached missions throughout Italy for over 43 years, establishing stations in 571 locations including the Colosseum in Rome. His Way of the Cross ranks among the great spiritual and devotional classics.
Resolved to sin no more, I humble myself at Your most holy feet, O Jesus, my most merciful Redeemer. With sorrow for my sins, I ask Your forgiveness with all my heart, and I love You above all things. Accompany me with Your grace, O most loving Jesus. Enlighten my mind and soften my heart, so that by meditating on Your most painful voyage to Calvary, I may be filled with sorrow for my sins. By Your suffering, by Your blood, make me worthy to obtain by this devotion the indulgence granted, which I offer for the souls in Purgatory. O my sweet Jesus, grant that in the Way of the Cross I may learn to love You always. Amen.
