How to Pray for Help with Our Golgotha Cross

It is much more meaningful to pray with the image of the Golgotha cross in front of us. The cross can be an free standing statue, a crucifix mounted on the wall, or a Cross of Golgotha pendant that is worn close to the heart.

Read the following prayer to help carry you through whatever crosses you have to bear and Jesus, with His divine mercy will hear you.

A Lenten Prayer called the Passion
Dear Lord Jesus,
by Your Passion and Resurrection
You brought life to the world.
But the glory of the Resurrection
came only after the sufferings of the Passion.

You laid down Your life willingly
and gave up everything for us.
Your body was broken and fastened to a Cross,
Your clothing became the prize of soldiers,
your blood ebbed slowly but surely away,
and Your Mother was entrusted to the beloved disciple.

Stretched out on the Golgotha Cross,
deprived of all earthly possessions and human aid,
You cried out to Your Father that the end had come.
You had accomplished the work given You,
and You committed into His hands,
as a perfect gift,
the little life that remained to You.

Lord, teach me to accept all afflictions
after the example You have given.
Let me place my death in Yours
and my weakness in Your abandonment,
Take hold of me with Your love,
that same foolish love that knew no limits,
and let me offer myself to the Father
with You so that I may rise with You to eternal life.

The Mercy of Jesus Christ Will Strengthen You

Pray to Jesus always, especially during the hard times, and He will see you through your personal cross of Golgotha. Just as the Heavenly Father brought Jesus to Paradise, so Jesus will do for you.
