Stations of the Cross - # 12
Jesus dies on the cross.
We adore you, O Christ, and we praise you;
Because by your holy cross you have redeemed the world.
Reflection
Scripture:
�Seeing his mother and the disciple he loved
standing near her, Jesus said to his mother,
�Woman, this is your son.� Then to the
disciple he said, �This is your mother.��After
this, Jesus knew that everything had now
been completed, and to fulfill the scripture
perfectly he said: �I am thirsty.� A jar full of
vinegar stood there, so putting a sponge soaked
in the vinegar on a hyssop stick they held it
up to his mouth. After Jesus had taken the
vinegar he said, �It is accomplished� and
bowing his head he gave up his spirit.�
[John 19, 26-30] |

A Prayer
�My Jesus, God, what can I say or do?
I offer you my death
with all its pains,
accepting now
the time and kind of death in store for me.
Not by a single instant
would I lengthen my life�s span.
I offer you my death
for my own sins
and for those of all humanity.
My God! My God! Forsake me not.
We know not what we do.� |
