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
SEVEN: Jesus meets the women of Jerusalem.
Scripture: "A large number of people followed him, including
women who mourned and wailed for him. Jesus turned and said to them, 'Daughters
of Jerusalem, do not weep for me; weep for yourselves and for your children."
Luke 23:27-28
Reflection: The Savior teaches the women not to weep for Him, but
for their own sins and the sins of their children. Our sorrow for Jesus
must turn upon ourselves and our loved ones-to weep for our own sins.
Prayer: O Jesus, grant that I may understand the true meaning of
Your Passion and be so inflamed with love for You that I may shed tears
of true remorse over my past transgressions. Amen.
Song:
And can
it be that I should gain
An interest in the Savior's blood?
Died he for me, who caused His pain?
For me who him to death pursued?
Amazing
love! How can it be
That Thou, my God, shouldst die for me?
Amazing love! How can it be
That Thou, my God, shouldst die for me?
