Stations of the Cross - Fourth Station 

Jesus meets his mother Mary.

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

Scripture

“Rejoice with Jerusalem, and be glad because of her, all you who love her. As nurslings, you shall be carried in her arms, and fondled in her lap; as a mother comforts her son, so will I comfort you.”
 

A Prayer

My Jesus, Lord,
I know what you are telling me.
To watch the pain of those we love is harder than to bear our own.

To carry my cross after you,
I, too, must stand and watch the sufferings of my dear ones – 
the heartaches, sicknesses and grief of those I love.
I must let them watch mine, too.
I do believe – 
for those who love 
all things work together unto good.

Third Station Jesus falls for the first time

Fifth Station Simon helps Jesus carry his Cross
