The Way of the Cross for Priests, especially those who are suffering persecution.
STATION XIV: Jesus Is Placed In The Sepulchre
We adore Thee, 0 Christ, and we bless Thee. Because by Thy holy Cross, Thou hast redeemed the World.
0 Jesus, I thank Thee for the lessons Thou didst teach us in Thy life and by Thy death, and for the glorious Resurrection from this tomb to a life in Heaven, which we, too, hope, by Thy grace to share one day with thee. (Pause for reflection.) For all thy priests, 0 sweetest Lord, I beg the grace, through Thy burial to keep themselves, apart from the spirit of the world even while they live in the midst of the world, and the gift, at their life’s end, of final perseverance. Grant, 0 Lord, to all, and in a special manner to those priests who have descended for Thy sake into the dark tomb of persecution, unending happiness with Thee in Heaven. May their wounds shine resplendently in Heaven. May they be united to Thee in the perfect union of the Beatific Vision - Thy promised reward to them for sharing Thy cross here on earth.

Thank Thee, dearest Lord Jesus, for permitting, me to accompany Thee on Thy sorrowful journey to Calvary. Bless me from Thy cross and help me to love Thee more and more so that I, too, may share Heaven with Thee and with all those for whom I have prayed.
Our Father, Hail Mary, Gloria for intentions of the Holy Father.
