Eleventh Station. Jesus is nailed to the cross.

We adore you, Christ, and we praise you.

Because by your holy Cross you have redeemed the World.

Luke, chapter 23, verses 33 and 34. When they came to the place that is called The Skull, they crucified Jesus there with the criminals, one on his right and one on his left. Then Jesus said, 'Father, forgive them; for they do not know what they are doing.'

Our Father, who art in heaven, hallowed be your name. Your kingdom come, your will be done, on earth as it is in heaven. Give us this day our daily bread, and forgive us our trespasses as we forgive those who trespass against us. Lead us not into temptation, but deliver us from evil.

Hail Mary, full of grace, the Lord is with you. Blessed are you among women, and blessed is the fruit of your womb, Jesus. Holy Mary, mother of God, pray for us sinners, now and at the hour of our death.

Glory be to the Father, and to the Son, and to the Holy Spirit, as it was in the beginning, is now, and ever shall be world without end.

They had pierced your hands and feet, Lord. Yet even then, you found the strength to forgive, even as the nails drove into your flesh. Grant us that forgiveness, Lord, when we sin, turn away, and pierce our relationship with you. Grant us that forgiveness, Lord.
