HYMN
Down the Via Dolorosa in Jerusalem that day The soldiers tried to clear the narrow street But the crowd pressed in to see The Man condemned to die on Calvary.
He was bleeding from a beating, there were stripes upon His back And He wore a crown of thorns upon His head And He bore with every step The scorn of those who cried out for His death.
Down the Via Dolorosa called the way of suffering Like a lamb came the Messiah, Christ the King, But He chose to walk that road out of His love for you and me Down the Via Dolorosa, all the way to Calvary.
Por la Via Dolorosa, triste dia en Jerusalén Los soldados le abrian paso a Jesus Mas la gente se acercaba Para ver al que llevaba aquella cruz.
Por la Via Dolorosa, que es la via del dolor Como oveja vino Cristo, Rey, Señor Y fue El quién quiso ir por su amor por ti y por mi Por la Via Dolorosa al Calvario y a morir The blood that would cleanse the souls of all men Made its way through the heart of Jerusalem.
Down the Via Dolorosa called the way of suffering Like a lamb came the Messiah, Christ the King But He chose to walk that road out of His love for you and me Down the Via Dolorosa, all the way to Calvary.

PSALMODY
Ant. 1 Heaven and earth will pass away but my words will not pass away.
Psalm 119:81-88 XI (Caph)
I yearn for your saving help; I hope in your word. My eyes yearn to see your promise. When will you console me?
Though parched and exhausted with waiting I have not forgotten your commands. How long must your servant suffer? When will you judge my foes?
For me the proud have dug pitfalls, against your law. Your commands are all true; then help me when lies oppress me.
They almost made an end of me on earth but I kept your precepts. Because of your love give me life and I will do your will.
Glory to the Father, and to the Son, and to the Holy Spirit: — as it was in the beginning, is now, and will be for ever. Amen.
Psalm-prayer
When evil seems to triumph, Lord, and our hope begins to fail, give us courage and perseverance in doing your will.
Ant. Heaven and earth will pass away but my words will not pass away.
Ant. 2 Lord, you are my hope, a strong citadel against my enemies.
Psalm 61 Prayer of an exile The prayer of the just man who places his hope in the things of heaven (Saint Hilary).
O God, hear my cry! Listen to my prayer! From the end of the earth I call: my heart is faint.
On the rock too high for me to reach set me on high, O you who have been my refuge, my tower against the foe.
Let me dwell in your tent for ever and hide in the shelter of your wings. For you, O God, hear my prayer, grant me the heritage of those who fear you.
May you lengthen the life of the king: may his years cover many generations. May he sit ever enthroned before God: bid love and truth be his protection.
So I will always praise your name and day after day fulfill my vows.
Glory to the Father, and to the Son, and to the Holy Spirit: — as it was in the beginning, is now, and will be for ever. Amen.
Psalm-prayer
Lord Jesus, love and truth of the Father, you came to earth to relieve the pain of our exile; you took our weakness as your own. Uphold us when our hearts grow faint until we stand with you before God and praise your name.
Ant. Lord, you are my hope, a strong citadel against my enemies.
Ant. 3 O Lord, guard my life…
