4th Sorrowful Mystery: The Carrying of the Cross

Saint Anna Schaeffer:

“Our dear God could take away everything in a blink of an eye, but no, it is so beneficial … and with holy love and joy I want to embrace and kiss my little cross.”

5th Sorrowful Mystery: The Crucifixion

Saint Thérèse of Lisieux:

“To live out of love here on this earth doesn’t mean to set up one’s tent on Mount Tabor. It means to climb Calvary with Jesus. It means to consider the Cross a treasure. In heaven I will be able to live in pleasure. Then all the trials will disappear, but here in exile, I want to live in suffering out of love.”

Brief moment of silence

Our Father – 10 Hail Marys – Glory be – O my Jesus
