Text is from The Saint Andrew Daily Missal,
unless stated otherwise.
Indulgences: One Plenary Indulgence each time; another Plenary Indulgence if Holy Communion is received on the same day, or ten times within the month following that exercise.
If it remained unfinished, Ten Years and Ten Quarantines for each Station visited.
(20 October 1931).
Conditions:
1. To visit each Station, unless it is impossible owing to the crowd.
[Pictures of the fourteen several Mysteries are very useful, but are not indispensable. Wooden Crosses, indicating the fourteen Stations of The Cross, are sufficient and are absolutely required.]
2. To meditate, as best one can, on The Passion of The Saviour.
No vocal Prayers are required. The Popes recommend the recitation of a Pater, an Ave, and an Act of Contrition, at each Station (April 1731).
When The Way of The Cross is made in public, a Verse of “The Stabat Mater” may be sung between each Station.
The Thirteenth Station.
Jesus Is Laid In The Arms Of His Blessed Mother.
Versicle: We adore Thee, O, Christ, and we bless Thee.
Response: Because by Thy Holy Cross Thou hast redeemed the world.
Priest.
The multitude have left the heights of Calvary, and none remain save the beloved disciple and the holy women, who, at the foot of the Cross, are striving to stem the grief of Christ's inconsolable Mother.
Joseph of Arimathea and Nicodemus take down the body of her Divine Son from the Cross and deposit It in her arms.
Prayer.
O, thou, whose grief was boundless as an ocean that hath no limits, Mary Mother of God, give us a share in thy most holy sorrow in the sufferings of thy Son, and have compassion on our infirmities.
Accept us as thy children with the beloved disciple. Show thyself a mother unto us; and may He, through thee, receive our Prayer, Who, for us, vouchsafed to be thy Son.
An Act of Contrition.
O, God, we love Thee with our whole hearts, and above all things, and are heartily sorry that we have offended Thee.
May we never offend Thee any more. O, may we love Thee without ceasing, and make it our delight to do in all things Thy Most Holy Will.
Our Father . . .
Hail Mary . . .
Glory Be To The Father . . .
Have mercy on us, O, Lord. Have mercy on us.
Versicle: May the Souls of the Faithful departed, through the mercy of God, rest in peace.
This Act of Contrition is to be repeated after each Station.
While passing from one Station to another, a Verse of the “Stabat Mater” is sung or said.
Versicle:
Fac me tecum pie flere,
Crucifíxo condolére,
Donec ego víxero.
Response:
Sancta Mater, istud agas,
Crucifíxi fige plagas,
Cordi meo válide.
Proceed to The Fourteenth Station.
