Chaplet of the Way of the Cross

Chaplet of the Way of the Cross

This Chaplet is a way of mediating on the Way of the Cross. On it, there are 15 groups of 3 beads, each, between which are medals representing the Stations of the Cross. An additional 6 beads are added as well as a Crucifix.

Beginning with the Crucifix, you bless yourself.

Prior to each group of 3 beads, say the following prayer,
"We adore You, O Christ, and we bless You because by Your Holy Cross You have redeemed the World."

Then say,
1 Our Father 1 Hail Mary and 1 Glory Be.

In each group of 3 beads, mediate on the particular station.
