Page 33 - “In Prayer with Jesus on the Way of the Cross”

Jesus, just judge who will one day call me by name, free me from hasty judgment,
gossip, and violent and offensive words.

Jesus, in the hour of your death, you said: “It is finished.” I have not yet finished the
course of my life, yet I continue to trust in you, for you are my hope, the hope of the
Church, and the hope of our world.

Jesus, let me say one last word to you, and to say it over and over again: Thank you!
Thank you, my Lord and my God!

For the first time in his 11-year pontificate, Pope Francis has written his own spiritual
meditations for Friday’s Via Crucis (Way of the Cross) in Rome.
The reflections are based on the theme “In Prayer with Jesus on the Way of the Cross”
and center on “what Jesus experienced in that moment” at each station, the Holy See
Press Office said earlier this week when announcing that the pope would offer his own
meditations.
