XII STATION - JESUS DIES ON THE CROSS<br />

We worship you oh Christ and we bless you.<br />

Because by your holy <strong>cross</strong> you have redeemed <strong>the</strong> world. (genuflection)<br />

Reading:<br />

And when <strong>the</strong> sixth hour had come, <strong>the</strong>re was darkness over <strong>the</strong> whole land until <strong>the</strong> ninth hour.<br />

And at <strong>the</strong> ninth hour Jesus cried with a loud voice, "E'lo-I, E'lo-I, la'ma sa-bach-tha'ni?" which means,<br />

"My God, my God, why hast thou forsaken me?" And some <strong>of</strong> <strong>the</strong> bystanders hearing it said, "Behold,<br />

he is calling Eli'jah." And one ran and, filling a sponge full <strong>of</strong> vinegar, put it on a reed and gave it to<br />

him to drink, saying, "Wait let us see whe<strong>the</strong>r Eli'jah will come to take him down." (Mark 15:33-36).<br />

Then Jesus crying with a loud voice, said, "Fa<strong>the</strong>r, into your hands I commit my spirit! And having<br />

said this he brea<strong>the</strong>d his last." (Luke 23:46)<br />

And <strong>the</strong> curtain <strong>of</strong> <strong>the</strong> temple was torn in two, from top to bottom. And when <strong>the</strong> centurion, who<br />

stood facing him, saw that he thus brea<strong>the</strong>d his last he said, "Truly this man was <strong>the</strong> Son <strong>of</strong> God!" (Mark<br />

15:38-39).<br />

But God shows his love for us in that while we were yet sinners Christ died for us. Since, <strong>the</strong>refore,<br />

we are now justified by his blood, much more shall we be saved by him from <strong>the</strong> wrath <strong>of</strong> God. (Rm. 5:8-<br />

9).<br />

A moment <strong>of</strong> prayer, kneeling.<br />

All stand: Let us pray.<br />

Merciful Fa<strong>the</strong>r, Christ your Son has known death for us; grant us we implore you, <strong>the</strong> forgiveness <strong>of</strong><br />

sins, instill in us your Holy Spirit so that we can participate in your own life.<br />

He who lives and reigns for ever and ever.<br />

Amen.<br />

Song: O Jesus, my love.<br />

XII ESTACIÓN - JESÚS MUERE EN LA CRUZ<br />

Te adoramos oh Cristo y te bendecimos.<br />

Porque por tu santa cruz redimiste al mundo. (genuflexión)<br />

Lectura:<br />

Al mediodía, se oscureció toda la tierra hasta las tres de la tarde; y a esa hora, Jesús exclamó en alta<br />

voz: «Eloi, Eloi, lamá sabactani», que significa: «Dios mío, Dios mío, ¿por qué me has abandonado?».<br />

Algunos de los que se encontraban allí, al oírlo, dijeron: «Está llamando a Elías». Uno corrió a mojar<br />

una esponja en vinagre y, poniéndola en la punta de una caña le dio de beber, diciendo: «Vamos a ver si<br />

Elías viene a bajarlo».(Marcos 15:33-36).<br />

Jesús, con un grito, exclamó: «Padre, en tus manos encomiendo mi espíritu». Y diciendo esto, expiró.<br />

(Lucas 23:46)<br />

El velo del Templo se rasgó en dos, de arriba abajo. Al verlo expirar así, el centurión que estaba<br />

frente a él, exclamó: «¡Verdaderamente, este hombre era Hijo de Dios!». (Marcos15:38-39).<br />

Pero la prueba de que Dios nos ama es que Cristo murió por nosotros cuando todavía éramos<br />

pecadores. Y ahora que estamos justificados por su sangre, con mayor razón seremos librados por él de<br />

la ira de Dios. (Rm. 5:8-9)<br />

Un momento de oración, arrodillado.<br />

Todos están de pie: Oremos<br />

Padre misericordioso, Cristo tu Hijo ha conocido la muerte por nosotros; concédenos que te imploremos,<br />

el perdón de los pecados, inculca en nosotros tu Espíritu Santo para que podamos participar en tu propia<br />

vida.<br />

Que vive y reina por los siglos de los siglos.<br />

Amén.<br />

Canción: Oh Jesús, mi amor
