Station 1: Jesus is condemned to die.

All: Genuflect with the Sign of the Cross.

Guardian: You are the Way, the Truth, and Life of Salvation for us.

People: In the Love of God, the Father, You have glorified His Name through Your Holy Cross and Resurrection, You have redeemed us, the Repentance Children, back to the Father with Your Blood and Water of Life.

Guardian: "The chief priests and the entire Sanhedrin kept trying to obtain false testimony against Jesus in order to put Him to death, but they found none, though many false witnesses came forward."(Matthew: 26:59- 60).

People: "Though harshly treated, he submitted and did not open his mouth; Like a lamb led to slaughter or a sheep silent before shearers, he did not open his mouth. Seized and condemned, he was taken away. Who would have thought any more of his destiny? For he was cut off from the land of the living, struck for the sins of his people. He was given a grave among the wicked, a burial place with evildoers, though he had done no wrong, nor was deceit found in his mouth." (Isaiah 53:7-9).

Guardian: Jesus, You faced the injustice judges and the people that falsely accused You in their pride, hatred, envy, afraid, and others evil work, with Courage and Wisdom. At the same time, Your Heart is sorrowful because the people that you entrusted have become a bystander and silent at Your side. Your silent before the injustice and the warning of Love to call them back to the Faithful Father, but the devil had blinded their minds, eyes, and hearts.

People: We often sensitive and out of control on the words and actions from others people with our blinded knowledge. We fail to discern God and the Works of God from others evildoers and things that we wanted to be our ways.

All: Jesus Christ, teach me the Heavenly Wisdom with Courage to know when to be silent before the injustice judges, avoid to condemn anyone, not to judge unjustly, and when to rebuke them in Your Presence with Love. Open my mind, lip, and heart, so Your Spirit will guide my soul to act accordingly to Your Truth to glorified the Father's Name.

Guardian: Jesus Christ, You who suffered sorrowful passion for us and the whole world.

People: Jesus Christ, have mercy on us and those who have done wrongs against us, in Your Passion.
