THE EIGHTH STATION: JESUS SPEAKS TO THE WOMEN OF JERUSALEM


L.   We adore you, O Christ, and we praise you
A.   Because by your cross you have redeemed the world



REFLECTION

It is easy to think that we are the only individuals going through a certain kind of unpleasant and deriding situations. So much that we become bitter towards everyone around us. 

This is not uncommon to the Christian life. Whatever we go through is meant to strengthen us to face even greater challenges in life and become examples of perseverance. 

Even in our moment of loneliness, dryness, seemingly hopelessness, let us not deny others the little offer we can give them. Just saying a word or two can bring someone back to life. 

 

PRAYER:

Lord Jesus help us to know that whatever we go through is meant for our good and those of others; so that we do not treat them with malice because of our pain, but speak words of hope to them at all times. Amen.

I pray you, that through the suffering that you underwent in carrying of the cross, grant me the needed grace, so that I may carry my own in patience and to reach out to others. Lord Jesus crucified! Have mercy on us!  Reflection by Daniel Baah (Theolo...
