PRESENTER:

Good night brothers! The New World Marriage Encounter Movement welcomes you most cordially!

In these moments we will begin our "Live Stations of the Cross" performed by the children of our little schools.
Where we will accompany Jesus in the process prior to his death. We ask then that you accompany us in each of
the stations by praying, walking and meditating in silence when we have to do so. Brothers, we do not want you
to interpret this Live Stations of the Cross as mere theater. It is not to detail the clothing, the expressions, the
scenery, but so that within ourselves, we meditate seriously on our commitment of life with Christ our Savior,
and with our own brothers, who many of them live the repetition of the way of the cross and we let them pass
before our eyes without wanting to realize it.
So the team of Mundo Nuevo Encuentro Matrimonial, asks you to follow the proper order in each of these
stations that the children will perform, let us meditate and live this Stations of the Cross. Welcome.

PREPARATORY PRAYER: (Background PRAYER MUSIC)

Lord Jesus: I was there two thousand years ago. It was I who took you to Annas and Caiaphas. To Herod and Pilate.
To the scourging and the crown of thorns, to the cross and to death.
It was me, Jesus. They were my sins of yesterday and today and always. I prepared this parade of blood and death for
you.
This Path of Pain.
I have trod this path behind You, shouting and laughing. I have stepped on the blood that You left behind^ I have
stepped on the
sweat, the little pieces of skin that the earth tore off in your falls. Jesus weighs on me.
Today I want to walk this path. Not as a murderer. If You let me, Jesus..., I want to walk it with You.
This time...as a friend. Amen

STAGE PREPARATION:
SUPPORT YOUTH WILL CORDON OFF THE STAGE AREA TO PREVENT PEOPLE FROM GOING ON STAGE.

BACKGROUND MUSIC: THE CONDEMNATION

Narrator 1: When morning came, the chief priests and the Jewish authorities held a meeting to see how to kill Jesus.
Then they bound him and led him away to hand him over to Pilate, who was the governor at that time. Jesus appeared
before him, and he asked him:

- PILATE: Are you the King of the Jews?

- JESUS: You say that on your own or because you have been told.

- ANAS: We havefound that this man stirs up the people, says that we should not pay tax to Caesar and pretends to
be the King sent by God!

- PILATO: Is it true what you are accused of?

- JESUS: He says nothing and remains silent.

- PILATO: Don't you answer anything?...look how many things they accuse you of?

- CAIFÁS: Yes! This man is an imposter! He is teaching the entire country of the Jews and revolting the
people! It started in Galilee and has reached here!

NARRATOR 1: From then on, Pilate was looking for a way to set him free; on the occasion of the Passover he had to
release a prisoner. There was a man named Barabbas, who had been imprisoned for some riots and murders in
Jerusalem.
Note: At this moment Barabbas prepares to leave, guarded by a soldier.

- PILATO: Bring Barrabas and place him in front of the people for them to choose!

NOTE: The soldier pulls Barabbas close to Jesus' side.

- PILATO: Who do you want me to set free? To Jesus called Christ or Barabbas (pointing to each of them)

- PEOPLE: ToBarabbas! To Barabbas! Set it free! Yes, to Barabbas!

- PILATO: Let him go!

Note: Barabbas is released and approaches Jesus and says:

- BARRABAS: You have freed me from this condemnation... (Pushes him) and leaves shouting: Free! ¡ ! I am Free!

- PILATO: I see no crime in this man. What wrong has this man done?
That is why I will have him flogged and then set him free (Addressing the people).
NOTE: Then Pilate took Jesus and ordered him to be scourged, while his wife comes to him and says:

- PILATOS' WIFE: Look... don't mess with that man, because of him I have had very strong dreams tonight.

Note: Then the flagellation is performed (a place is found where the flagellation takes place), at the end of the
flagellation the narrator says:.
NARRATOR 1: Then the soldiers seize Jesus, and began to mock him, they begin to beat him (pause...), they place a
crown of thorns on his head (pause...a soldier puts it on him), they also place a red cloak on him (pause...and put it on
him), and begin to tell him:

- SOLDIER 1: "Behold His Majesty (looking at the people)!

- SOLDIER 2: Long live the king of the Jews! (laughs)

Note: He brings him again before Pilate and presents him to the people saying:

- PILATE: Beholdthe man! What shall I do with your King?

- PUEBLO: Get out! Get out! Crucify him! Crucify him! Crucify him!

- PILATE: Shall I crucify your king?

- ANAS: We have no king but Caesar.

- People: Crucify him! Crucify him! Crucify him!

- CAIphas: May their blood fall on us and on our children.

NOTE: A soldier approaches, carrying water to Pilate, who washes his hands before the people and says:

- PILATO: I am not responsible for the blood that will be spilled; it is up to you.

NOTE: At this point all actors bow their faces as they reflect and pray.

(REFLECTIVE BACKGROUND MUSIC)

NARRATOR 2:
It had to happen like this! You had said many things, you had done many things that we men didn't like! Don't think you
were going to escape from our hands. You had called us Pharisees and a race of vipers. You called the poor blessed^ you
said that it was difficult for the rich to enter the kingdom of heaven. You said that it was not lawful to lust after our
neighbor's wife. You said we had to love our enemies. You did and said many things that did not please the powerful. You
were a friend of the poor, of foreigners, of widows. You didn't ask for a recommendation, an influence, you didn't flatter
anyone.
It had to happen! The world had to condemn you. You were condemned then and we would condemn you now! We are
condemning you every day! For we want neither your commandments, nor your advice^ nor your sacrifice, nor your
style. It had to happen this way, My Jesus!

NARRATOR 1: "Lord, I sinned....

NARRATOR 2: Have pity and mercy on me.

NARRATOR 1 and 2: Our Father, Hail Mary, Glory to the Father...

also to be crucified.

- SOLDIER 1: Bring in the two evildoers! (they bring them and place them behind Jesus)

At this point everyone moves forward slowly while reflection and prayer is given.

(REFLECTIVE BACKGROUND MUSIC)

NARRATOR 2: No, Jesus, not you! That cross is mine! Don't insist! I tell you it is made with my sins. I am the one who has
to carry it! It is well Lord, it is useless to fight with you^ You are God, You always win. Take her Jesus. You can only carry
it. We all men ask you. You know very well how to grab it. You were a carpenter since you were a child. You know how to
grasp a heavy timber, how to carry it on your shoulder. You did it many times in Nazareth. You would take the timbers,
put them on your shoulders, and then move forward...as far as you had to move forward. You have trained all your life
for this: to know how to carry a wood well. This wood. Wood was always for you like a great friendship. You loved her,
you knew all her secrets. That is why today You alone know the secret of this wood of the cross. Open it, Christ. Embrace
it and go! We go behind to learn how to hold, how to carry a cross. Because we don't know... And we really need it.

NARRATOR 1: Sir, I sinned...

- SOLDIER 1: Hey, you!...yes you...come here (with a powerful voice).

- SIMON: Me? ... What do you want from me...?

- SOLDIER 1: This condemned man can no longer carry the cross by himself, we don't want him to die before us.
That's why you will help him
 - SIMON: I can't, it's none of my business... I have nothing to do with this condemned man, ask someone else.

- WOMEN: Yes... help him... this man is an innocent... (All... at the end of the reflection they leave immediately)
for the next season)

- SOLDIER 1: I TELL YOU TO HELP HIM!...(grabs him and forces him to take the cross)

- SIMON: All right... but I will tell you that I have nothing to do with this man, I am innocent of carrying the cross of
a condemned man (takes the cross of Jesus).

Note: Simon carries the Cross and they slowly walk the way of the cross, while the reflection is read and prayed.

(REFLECTIVE BACKGROUND MUSIC)

NARRATOR 2: I didn't want to. Of course not. He was like one of us. We do not want to carry the cross. Simon was forced
to carry it. The Cross is something inexorable, something that we will find in any path of our life......He grabbed the wood
with disgust. However, little by little - I didn't know why - his hand began to caress, to squeeze that wood. There was
something about that wood.................................................................................................................There was a moment,
in an effort, when the hand of Jesus, in wanting to grasp the Cross, caught underneath that of Simon, and raised both his
arm and the Cross. Simon understood in an instant what is so difficult for us: that it is Christ who carries his Cross and a
large part of ours. Why did you, Jesus, want to have need of Simon? You wanted to have need of men even to carry the
Cross, to make us redeemers with You. To tell us that our crosses are redemptive, they are an extension of your Cross. To
tell us that we men must help each other to carry our crosses. On the road of life, at my side, many human beings march
who sometimes cannot carry their Cross. You put them there for me to give them a hand................And it was you
yourself who passed so many times with the Cross on your shoulders through all the streets of the world.

Note: He wipes the face...turns around...sees it...shows it to the women and the people and says:

- VERONICA: Look...look...she has left her beautiful face impregnated in my cloth! It's a miracle...a miracle....

gesture of kindness, understanding and service leaves an indelible mark in the heart of man, which makes him a little

(REFLECTIVE MUSIC)
NARRATOR 2: However, it was our ailments that he bore, it was our pains that weighed him down. We believed him to

- Soldier 3: Stop paying him! We are almost to Golgota

(REFLECTIVE MUSIC)

Narrator 2: Has he died? Not Christ! You can't die there! You have to die on top! Nailed to a cross, you have to make
redemption by suffering more, much more! This is the reason why Christ will not let Himself die there.
A supreme effort of will: will to go on living, to suffer more. Christ, if you had let yourself die there, in the third fall, it
would still have been a glorious death^ all men would have thanked you for having suffered for us And it would
have been enough, Christ, for you to have had an immense fame...and if you had been spared from dying nailed. The
best among us often do this, Christ: they struggle for some time, but soon a day comes when they say they have done
enough. That's enough^ now it's their turn to rest.
We..............we are even less than them: we stay on the ground after the first or second fall. We, the lazy, the tired of all
times. Those of us who lie in the mud of our sins, in the mud of our pessimism, in the mud of our laziness. Rise up Christ
so that we may know that with you we can all rise up: the sinners of all our lives, the desperate, the lazy, the
pessimists.......................................................................................................................................We can go all the way,
Christ! We can!!!.

NARRATOR 1: While they were crucifying him the people were there watching...(waits for them to bring up the cross and
then says) The chief priests, chief of the Jews and the teachers of the law, mocked him saying:

- ANAS: Wow! You who destroy the Temple and raise it up again in three, yes, you are the Son of God, free yourself
from torture and come down from the cross.

- CAIPHAS: He has saved others! And it is not capable of saving itself.

- ANAS: Let the King of Israel come down from the cross and we will believe in him.

- CAIPHAS: He has put his trust in God, if God loves him as he says, may he save him. For he himself said: "I am the
Son of God" (HE LAUGHS).

Narrator 1: And as the blasphemies and the insults were greater, the voice of Jesus was heard from the top of the tree,
looking up to heaven with imploring eyes, and forgetting his torments, he said with infinite tenderness:

- JESUS: "FATHER, FORGIVE THEM FOR THEY KNOW NOT WHAT THEY DO" (SHOUTS LOUDLY)

- THIEF GESTAS: That you did not call yourself the Son of God, then save yourself, and save us also.

- THIEF DIMAS: You have no fear of God, you who are in the same ordeal, we do deserve this condemnation and
pay for what we have done, but this man has done nothing wrong. Jesus... Jesus remember me when you enter
into your Kingdom... (Looking at Jesus and slowly)

 (REFLECTIVE MUSIC)

NARRATOR 2: Your open hands Christ, more open than ever to forgive. Your feet still, Christ, stiller than ever so that we
may always find you. Your body Christ, which fits so wonderfully to the cross, made by God in the form of a cross,
destined for the Cross. Your body and the bodies of all of us, amazingly manufactured in the form of a Cross, with divine
destiny that we embrace it. The cross that is our company and our triumph. The cross for which we are made^ the cross
from which we flee like fools. By your nailed and open hands, by mine light, sensual, skillful for injustice, closed to hate
and strike. Forgive us Lord, for we already knew what we were doing. For your still, stitched and bloody feet, for mine
that have run through so many tortuous paths, for my feet stained with the mud of life. Forgive us, Lord, for we already
knew what we were doing. Forgive us Christ, who already knew what it was to sin^ even though we knew what it was to
nail you by hands and feet, even though we knew what it was to have you hang between heaven and earth for three
hours of torment. Forgive us Lord. Even if we knew what we were doing!

NARRATOR 1: Sir, I sinned...

NARRATOR 2: Have pity and mercy on me.
NARRATOR 1 AND 2: Our Father, Hail Mary, Glory be to the Father...

Note: At the end of the reflection Mary and John move a little away from the cross.

BACKGROUND MUSIC: "EN EL CALVARIO".

NARRATOR 1: From noon until three o'clock in the afternoon, the whole region was covered with darkness. Jesus with
imponderable anguish raised His head, set His almost lightless gaze on the sky, and with a great voice, echo of all
sorrows; He exclaimed with infinite bitterness:

- JESUS: "MY GOD, MY GOD WHY HAVE YOU FORSAKEN ME?"

- ANAS: He is calling Elias (addressing the people).

- CAIPHAS: Leave him...let's see if Elijah will come to deliver him.

NARRATOR 1: After this, when Jesus knew that all things were accomplished, he said:

- JESUS: "I AM THIRSTY".

NARRATOR 1: There was there a jar full of sweet and sour wine; then a soldier, taking a sponge, soaked it in wine and
putting it on the end of the reed, gave him to drink; but Jesus did not taste it.

Note: When the narrator says this, a soldier says it at the same time.

- JESUS: "ALL IS ACCOMPLISHED".

- JESUS: "FATHER, INTO YOUR HANDS I COMMEND MY SPIRIT".

 AT THIS MOMENT THE SONG PLAYS: VIA DOLOROSA, IN THE MIDDLE OF THE SONG THE NARRATOR GIVES THE
REFLECTION AND THE SONG REMAINS IN THE BACKGROUND.

NARRATOR 2: Jesus. I was there two thousand years ago. It was I who led you to Annas and Caiaphas, to Herod and
Pilate, to the scourging and the crown of thorns, to the cross and to death. It was me, Jesus. They were my sins of
yesterday and today and always. I prepared this parade of blood and death for you. This Way of the Cross. I have trod
this path behind You, shouting and laughing. I have stepped on the blood that You left behind^ I have stepped on the
sweat, the little pieces of skin that the earth tore off in your falls. Jesus weighs on me.

NARRATOR 1: Sir, I sinned...

NARRATOR 2: Have pity and mercy on me.
NARRATOR 1 AND 2: Our Father, Hail Mary, Glory to the Father...

NARRATOR 1: THIRTEENTH STATION: "JESUS IS TAKEN DOWN FROM THE CROSS".

NARRATOR 2: We adore you, Lord, and we bless you, who by your holy cross redeemed the world and my sinner.
NARRATOR 1: After this, Joseph, from the town of Arimathea, went to Pilate and asked permission to remove the body
of Jesus. He, too, was one of Jesus' disciples, but secretly, for fear of the Jews, along with him was also Nicodemus, the
one who had gone by night to see Jesus.

Note: At the end of the narrator Mary approaches and contemplates the body of Jesus while he is on the cross. Then the
song is sung: "THE DIARY OF MARY" When the song is in the second stanza Joseph of Arimathea approaches together
with Nicodemus to make the descent. They give it to Mary...then the disciple John approaches with Magdalene...and
then the other women, so that they form a crescent before the people (all this in a leisurely manner) then the narrator
says:
NARRATOR 2: Dead, Jesus to whom the Mother gave life! ! Cold to those who gave warmth! Closed those eyes in which
he looked at her with tenderness, and frozen those lips whose first smiles were for her, whose first words she guessed
and that so many times told her "Mother! No longer beating that heart that beat against her breast, feeling in her soul
the life that she herself had given it.
Who can measure the pain of a mother who holds in her arms the Son of her womb dead?

NARRATOR 1: Mr. I sinned....

NARRATOR 2: Have pity and mercy on me.
NARRATOR 1 AND 2: Our Father, Hail Mary, Glory be to the Father...

BACKGROUND MUSIC: "ALL IS ACCOMPLISHED".

NARRATOR 1: FOURTEENTH STATION: JESUS IS PLACED IN THE HOLY SEPULCHER.
NARRATOR 2: We adore you Lord and we bless you that by your Holy Cross you redeemed the world and my sinner.
NARRATOR 1: Joseph took the body of Jesus and wrapped it in a clean sheet and placed it in a new tomb he had dug out
of the rock, which he had made for himself.

Note: At the same time the narrator says this, it is being done. They take the body of Jesus to the temple, together with
the two evildoers behind, then the rest of the characters follow him, and when they enter, the doors of the temple are
closed so that the people do not enter.

NARRATOR 2: It was the day of preparation for the Passover and the Sabbath was about to begin. Then the women who
had come with Jesus from Galilee followed Joseph to the tomb to see how his body was laid. Then they returned to their
homes to prepare ointments and perfumes, and on the Sabbath day they fulfilled the rest commanded by the Law.

NARRATOR 1: Lord, I sinned...

NARRATOR 2: Have pity and mercy on me.
NARRATOR 1 AND 2: Our Father, Hail Mary, Glory to the Father...

Note: The "Way of the Cross" ends with a brief kerygmatic message and the final prayer.
