Jesus Is Nailed to the Cross. |
The Eleventh Station |
Huge nails are hammered through his hands and feet to fix him on the cross. He is bleeding much more seriously now. As the cross is lifted up, the weight of his life hangs on those nails. Every time he struggles to pull himself up to breathe, his ability to cling to life slips away. |
| We adore
you, O Christ, and we bless you. Because by your holy cross you have redeemed the world. |
|
| Previous Station | I make myself watch the
nails being driven through his flesh. And I watch his face.
I contemplate the completeness of his entry into our lives. Can there be any pain or agony he would not understand? This is for me. Nailed to a cross to forever proclaim liberty to captives. What sorrow and gratitude fill my heart! |
