First Station: Jesus in the Garden of Gethsemane

First Station: Jesus in the Garden of Gethsemane

Consider how Jesus Christ, after being scourged and crowned with thorns, was unjustly condemned by Pilate to die on the cross.

it was not Pilate;
no, it was my sins that condemned You to die.

Grant that I may love You always; and then do with me as You will.
