Opening Prayer

Leader: Lord Jesus Christ, as we gather here to meditate on your Paschal Mystery, grant us all the grace to detest sin as you did, and to spend our life for our neighbor as you taught us through your example. Thus shall we be able to share not only in your sufferings but also in your resurrection. You who live and reign forever and ever.

All: Amen!

FIRST STATION: The Last Supper

Leader: We adore you, O Christ, and we praise you.

All: Because by your holy cross you have redeemed the world.

The Lord Jesus on the night in which he was betrayed took bread, and after he had given thanks, broke it and said, “This is my body, which is for you. Do this in remembrance of me.” In the same way, after the supper, he took the cup saying, “This cup is the new covenant in my blood. Do this, whenever you drink it, in remembrance of me.” Every time, then, you eat this bread and drink this cup, you proclaim the death of the Lord until he comes! (1 Cor 11:23:26)

(Pause for silent reflection)

Prayer

Lord Jesus, you loved us to the utmost. You loved us to the end. You remain in the Eucharist to be for us the food and drink that give eternal life. You remain with us to be the continuous sign of God’s saving presence in all circumstances of life. Forgive us, Lord, for the times we have failed to appreciate your gift of self to us and your loving presence in the Eucharist.

Our Father | Hail Mary | Glory Be

Leader: Jesus Christ, Crucified.

All: Have Mercy on us.

Leader: May the souls of the faithful departed, through the mercy of God, rest in peace.

All: Amen.
