The Stations of the Cross worksheet for alphabetizing underlined words.

Let’s go step by step.

We are asked to alphabetize the underlined words. That means we need to take all the underlined words from sentences 1 through 14, list them in alphabetical order (A to Z), and write that list as our answer.

First, let’s pull out each underlined word:

1. death
2. cross
3. first
4. mother
5. helps
6. Veronica
7. second
8. women
9. third
10. stripped
11. crucified
12. dies
13. body
14. laid

Now, let’s list them again so we can sort them:

- death
- cross
- first
- mother
- helps
- Veronica
- second
- women
- third
- stripped
- crucified
- dies
- body
- laid

Important: When alphabetizing, we ignore capitalization — so “Veronica” is treated like “veronica”. We compare letter by letter from left to right.

Let’s sort them carefully:

Start with A–B:
→ body (starts with B)

C:
→ cross
→ crucified

D:
→ death
→ dies

F:
→ first

H:
→ helps

L:
→ laid

M:
→ mother

S:
→ second
→ stripped

T:
→ third

V:
→ veronica (from “Veronica”)

W:
→ women

Wait — let’s double-check the full sorted list by writing them in order:

1. body
2. cross
3. crucified
4. death
5. dies
6. first
7. helps
8. laid
9. mother
10. second
11. stripped
12. third
13. veronica
14. women

Is this correct? Let’s verify a few tricky ones:

- “cross” vs “crucified”: c-r-o vs c-r-u → o comes before u → so “cross” before “crucified” ✔
- “death” vs “dies”: d-e-a vs d-i-e → e comes before i → “death” before “dies” ✔
- “second” vs “stripped”: s-e vs s-t → e before t → “second” before “stripped” ✔
- “third” vs “veronica”: t vs v → t before v → “third” before “veronica” ✔
- “women” starts with w → last ✔

Also note: “Veronica” was capitalized in the original, but for alphabetizing, we treat it as lowercase unless specified otherwise — which it isn’t. So “veronica” goes under V.

Final sorted list:

body, cross, crucified, death, dies, first, helps, laid, mother, second, stripped, third, veronica, women

Final Answer:
body, cross, crucified, death, dies, first, helps, laid, mother, second, stripped, third, veronica, women
