Scriptural Stations of the Cross

These Stations of the Cross are based on the scriptures as celebrated by Pope John Paul II on Good Friday 1991. They are shared as an aid for Lenten reflecting on the Passion, Death and Resurrection of Jesus Christ.

Second Station: Jesus, Betrayed by Judas, is Arrested

I adore you, O Christ, and I bless you.

Because by your holy cross you have redeemed the world.

Then, while [Jesus] was still speaking, Judas, one of the Twelve, arrived, accompanied by a crowd with swords and clubs, who had come from the chief priests, the scribes, and the elders.  His betrayer had arranged a signal with them, saying, "the man I shall kiss is the one; arrest him and lead him away securely."

He came and immediately went over to him and said, "Rabbi."   
And he kissed him. At this they laid hands on him and arrested him.
(Mark 14: 43-46)

Lord,
grant us the courage of our convictions
that our lives may faithfully reflect the good news you bring and help us to walk in your steps.

May God Be Praised!
