OPENING PRAYER
Heavenly Father, we pray for all the people involved in abortions throughout the world; we beg you to look at them with eyes of love and mercy; we beg you also to grant us a heart like Yours to be able not to judge nor condemn the mothers that have thought about aborting and for the ones that have already decided to abort.
Beloved heavenly Father, in the holy name of Your Son Jesus Christ we ask You to grant all of us the perfect humility to see our own lives as they are and to correct what is lacking in ourselves.
Beloved Jesus, You who were conceived in the virginal womb of Mary Most Holy to become human and defenseless, we beg you to enlighten the conscience of parents, doctors and law makers and to bless all mothers so all children that have been conceived would be able to enjoy the precious gift of life.
We beg the loving protection of Our Blessed Mother to cover all the little ones in the wombs of their mother, protecting them from conception until birth.
We ask this of You, Jesus, who with the Father and the Holy Spirit, lives and reigns for ever and ever. Amen.
OFFERING OF THE WAY OF THE CROSS
My Lord and my God, we have come today with our heart in our hand and with an open mind to meditate through this Way of the Cross, Your Passion, Death and Resurrection.
Lord Jesus, at each station we come to offer You our lives, our falls, our wounds, our sorrows and our sicknesses. We recognize our sins. We beg you for the unborn children and their mothers through Your Most Precious Blood.
Mother Mary, cover us with Your Holy Mantle to protect us from sinning and that with our good actions we will be pleasing to God Our Lord. Amen.
FIRST STATION: Jesus is condemned to death

We adore You O Christ and we praise You.
Because by Your Holy Cross You have redeemed the world.
I have sinned Lord. Have mercy on me.
We have sinned Lord. We are sorry. Have mercy on us.
My Lord! Mercy! (3 times)
Our Father, Hail Mary and Glory Be
SECOND STATION: Jesus carries His Cross
Meditation of the child that is going to be aborted:

We adore You O Christ and we praise You.
Because by Your Holy Cross You have redeemed the world.
I have sinned Lord. Have mercy on me.

Meditation of the child that is going to be aborted:
My Lord Jesus, I find you with Mary, Your mother. It has been very painful and sad, but I don’t have a mother here on earth like Yours, to give me comfort and weep for me. I am enshrined in a womb of a mother that will give me away to be murdered.

SIXTH STATION: Veronica wipes the face of Jesus
Meditation of the child that is going to be aborted:
Oh, my beloved Jesus, if a Veronica could console me and help me in my impotence and pain!

I have sinned Lord. Have mercy on me.
We have sinned Lord. We are sorry. Have mercy on us.

SEVENTH STATION: Jesus falls the second time
Meditation of the child that is going to be aborted:
My parents, sadly, make calculations on how much I will cost them to raise me and to educate me. Lord, I am a financial burden for them and they think that to take my life is less expensive. They want me dead before I am born. That is the winning argument, and it is the one that makes me fall the second time.
Let’s pray:
We adore You O Christ and we praise You.
Because by Your Holy Cross You have redeemed the world.
I have sinned Lord. Have mercy on me.
We have sinned Lord. We are sorry. Have mercy on us.

Meditation of the child that is going to be aborted:

Meditation of the child that is going to be aborted:
