Jesus Dies on the Cross. |
The Twelfth Station |
Between two criminals, a mocking title above his head, with only Mary and John and Mary Magdalene to support him, Jesus surrenders his last breath: "Into your hands I commend my spirit." |
We adore
you, O Christ, and we bless you. Because by your holy cross you have redeemed the world. |
|
Previous Station | I stand there, at the
foot of the cross, side by side with all of humanity, and behold our
salvation.
I carefully watch and listen to all that is said. And then, I experience the one who gives life pass from life to death, for me. I console Mary and John and Mary. And let them console me. This is the hour to express the deepest feelings within me. |
