REFLECTION ON THE STATIONS OF THE CROSS- SECOND STATION

 

THE SECOND STATION : JESUS CARRIES HIS CROSS

We adore you, O Christ and we praise you!

Because by your cross you have redeemed the world.

REFLECTION

Look at how the heavy cross is carried on Jesus' neck in this journey. Jesus knows it wouldn't be easy to carry it to Calvary. He thinks of us and entrusts the death he is about to die to his Father for our sake. 

Sometimes we feel that our responsibilities and the struggles we go through in life are too much than we can bear.  Let us take inspiration from Jesus, who, irrespective of how large and heavy the cross was, for our sake, embraced and carried the cross. 

PRAYER:

My love Jesus, I embrace the struggles and the responsibilities you have given me in my life. 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!
