A visit of 7 old, historic churches
on Panay Island, Philippines
for Holy Week 2013

Mabuhay!

There are many who are unable to participate in the Holy Week tradition of
visiting 7 Churches and doing the Way of the Cross, for all sorts of reasons.

Some may be far from home in the Americas, in the Middle East, Europe, Asia
or elsewhere around the world, while others are confined to their homes due to old
age or illness and still others may be at work.

We have therefore prepared a small touch of home for Holy Week to offer you the
opportunity to visit 7 historic churches on Panay Island and elsewhere with two
Stations of the Way of the Cross at each church to help with your Holy Week
observances.

Preparatory Prayer::

O most merciful Jesus, with a contrite heart and penitent spirit, I bow down in profound
humility before Your divine majesty. I adore You as my supreme Lord and Master; I believe in
You, I hope in You, I love You above all things. I am heartily sorry for having offended You,
my Supreme and Only Good. I resolve to amend my life, and although I am unworthy to
obtain mercy, yet the sight of Your holy cross, on which You died, inspires me with hope and
consolation. I will, therefore, meditate on Your sufferings, and visit the stations of Your
Passion in company with Your sorrowful Mother and my guardian angel, with the intention of
promoting Your honour and saving my soul.

I desire to gain all the indulgences granted for this holy exercise for myself and for the Poor
Souls in Purgatory. O merciful Redeemer, who has said, "And I, if I be lifted from earth, will
draw all things to Myself," draw my heart and my love to You, that I may perform this devotion
as perfectly as possible, and that I may live and die in union with You.

Amen.

Closing Prayer

Almighty and eternal God, merciful Father, who has given to the human race Your beloved
Son as an example of humility, obedience and patience to precede us on the way of life,
bearing the cross. Graciously grant us that we, inflamed by His infinite love, may take up the
sweet yoke of His Gospel together with the mortification of the cross, following Him as His
true disciples, so that we shall one day gloriously rise with Him and joyfully hear the final
sentence: "Come, you blessed of My Father, and possess the kingdom which was prepared
for you from the beginning," where You live and reign with the Son and the Holy Ghost, and
where we hope to live with You, world without end.

Amen.

Saint Francis of Assisi
