SEVENTH STATION - REFLECTION
THE SEVENTH STATION: JESUS FALLS A SECOND TIME
A. Because by your cross you have redeemed the world
The language of Love is found in the action of humility. As the beam of contradiction draws our Lord to the dust the second time, we see what our wills which contradict God's will did to our Lord Jesus Christ. It did not only draw him to earth, but also to the dust out of which he made man.
He is drawn to the dust to breath into man the breath of life; He is drawn to the dust to inspire man again to get up from where he has fallen. Jesus Christ through his fall is inspiring us to realize God in our weaknesses, and know that his grace is sufficient for us.
All that is left for us is to submit our ways to God's will, so that we don't create another contradictory beam, the Cross. You may have fallen several times, see God's breath in your lower state and arise from the dust.
You were made to rise from the dust when he inspired you with the breath of life, Arise!.
PRAYER:
Lord, may we never be discouraged by our weakness and repeated failures. Help us to focus our eyes on our goal: the cross and the ressurection. May this help us to perseve at all times. Amen.
(Theology 1 Seminarian)
