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.
FOURTH STATION
Lamentations 1: 12
JESUS
MEETS HIS SORROWFUL MOTHER
I
adore you, O Christ, and I bless you.
Jesus
speaks to you:
 I have just seen Mary. I wished for a second that she and I
could have been spared that meeting. Do you tend to avoid your loved ones, and
they you, in times of crisis? Some spend a lifetime shielding their deepest
selves from their mothers, fathers, brothers, sisters, husbands, wives, sons
and daughters. In the end, this will fail, because your death exposes your
weakness to your loved ones as nothing in life could.
Why wait until death or desperation
to “meet” your loved ones? Share with them your most profound aspirations,
joys, fears and troubles before the opportunities are gone.
Just as my Father gives you the grace
to face loved ones when all hope seems lost, so He gives them the grace to cope
not only with your pain but theirs as well.
Lord Jesus, as I walk
in your steps, please bring an end to the COVID 19 Pandemic.
