St. Alphonsus Liguori's Stations of the Cross

Previous Home Next
  The Stations of the Cross show the passion and death of Christ. Most Stations are located inside Catholic Churches, but the ones shown here are along a path through the woods of Holy Hill in the Kettle Moraine area of rural Wisconsin. The prayers below each photograph were written by St. Alphonsus Liguori.

Preparatory Prayer

(to be said kneeling before the altar)

ALL: My Lord, Jesus Christ, You have made this journey to die for me with unspeakable love; and I have so many times ungratefully abandoned You. But now I love You with all my heart;  and, because I love You, I am sincerely sorry for ever having offended You. Pardon me, my God, and permit me to accompany You on this journey. You go to die for love of me; I want, my beloved Redeemer, to die for love of You. My Jesus, I will live and die always united to You.

At the cross her station keeping
Stood the mournful Mother weeping
Close to Jesus to the last
