The Garden of Gethsemane
OPENING PRAYER OF
THE NEW STATIONS OF THE CROSS

My Lord and Redeemer:

You have shown me how to live by Your life and by Your death. When I compare your life to mine, I start asking questions about myself. Sometimes, Lord, the ocean of life seems so wide and so deep and my ship and oars so small. Help me to grow and to understand You and myself better. I ask You to help me to accept life and everything that comes with it.
In the name of the Father, and of the Son, and of the Holy Spirit. Amen.
