The Fourth Sorrowful Mystery
The Carrying of the Cross
| Luke 23:26-29 As they were leading him away they seized on a man, Simon from Cyrene, who was coming in from the country, and made him shoulder the cross and carry it behind Jesus. Large numbers of people followed him, and women too, who mourned and lamented for him. But Jesus turned to them and said, 'Daughters of Jerusalem, do not weep for me; weep rather for yourselves and for your children. For look, the days are surely coming when people will say, "Blessed are those who are barren, the wombs that have never borne children, the breasts that have never suckled!

Announce the Mystery; then say the "Our Father". Then say ten "Hail Mary's", while meditating on this Mystery. Say the "Glory Be" then say the "Fatima Prayer" and go to the next mystery. | |||
