Stations Common Prayers

📿 Common Prayers for the Stations of the Cross

Stations Common prayers for the Stations of the Cross help provide structure, reverence, and spiritual focus as you walk through each moment of Jesus’ Passion.

These time-honored verses and reflections are traditionally said at the beginning of every station, helping to center the heart in humility and love.

Rather than repeating them on every Station page, I’ve gathered them here to preserve your flow of meditation and reduce distractions.

You may return here at the beginning of each Station, or pray them once and carry them in your heart throughout.

🙏 Opening Prayer at Every Station

V. We adore you, O Christ,
and we bless you.

R. Because by your holy Cross,
you have redeemed the world.

🕊️ Concluding Prayers

Our Father...
Hail Mary...
Glory Be...

V. Have Mercy upon us O Lord.
R. Have Mercy on us.

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

🌱 Why These Stations Common Prayers Are Central to the Stations

The beauty of these repeated prayers is in their rhythm.
