Stations of the Cross - #13
The body of Jesus is taken
down from the cross.
We adore you, O Christ, and we praise you;
Because by your holy cross you have redeemed the world.
Reflection
Scripture:
�Now there was a virtuous man named Joseph who, though he was a member
of the council, had not consented to their plan of action. He came from
the Jewish town of Arimathea and was awaiting the kingdom of God. This man went to Pilate and
asked for the body of Jesus. After He had taken the
body down, he wrapped it in a linen cloth and laid him in a roch-hewn
tomb in which no one had yet been buried."
[Luke 23, 50-53] |

A Prayer
�I beg you, Lord,
help me accept the partings that must come �
from friends who go away,
my children leaving home,
and most of all ,
my dear ones when you shall call them to yourself.
Then, give me grace to say:
�As it has pleased you, Lord, to take them home,
I bow to your most holy will.
And if by just one word
I might restore their lives
against your will,
I would not speak.�
Grant them eternal joy.� |
