THE
WAY OF THE CROSS
A reflective Via Dolorosa
walk
by John Hay,
Jr. (West Morris Street FMC, Indianapolis, IN)
The
Stations, or Way of the Cross, is an ancient method of meditating upon
Christ's Suffering and Death. Trace the path of Jesus from His condemnation
to His body being laid in a tomb. Bring your senses, and most of all your
heart, and walk the Way of the Cross. Take time to read, reflect, pray,
and/or sing. Reflect on what Jesus' journey to the cross means for you,
for all.

 STATION
TWO: Jesus takes up His Cross
Scripture: "Carrying his own cross, he went out to the Place
of the Skull (which in Aramaic is called Golgotha)." John 19:17 "If
anyone would come after me, let him deny himself, take up his cross, and
follow me." Matthew 16:24
Reflection: Most willingly Jesus accepts and patiently bears His
Cross for my sake. Will I refuse to bear my cross for His sake?
Prayer: No, my loving Redeemer, I will no longer seek to evade
my cross. But with the help of Your grace I will bear my cross with Christian
patience and resignation and follow You always. Amen.
Song:
Must Jesus
bear the Cross alone
And all the world go free?
No, there's a Cross for everyone,
And there's a cross for me.
The consecrated
cross I'll bear
Till death shall set me free,
And then go home my crown to wear,
For there's a crown for me.
