Stations of the Cross - #2
Jesus Takes Up His cross.
We adore you, O Christ, and we praise you;
Because by your holy cross you have redeemed the world.
Reflection
Scripture:
�The soldiers of the governor took Jesus inside the praetorium and gathered the whole cohort
around him. They stripped off his clothes and
threw a scarlet military cloak about him.
Weaving a crown of thorns, they placed it on
his head, and a reed in his right hand. And
kneeling before him, they mocked him, saying,
�Hail, King of the Jews.� They spat upon him
and took the reed and kept striking him on the
head. And when they had mocked him, they
stripped him of the cloak, dressed him in
his own clothes, and led him off to crucify him.�

A Prayer
�My Jesus, Lord,
I take my daily cross.
I welcome the monotony
that often marks my day,
discomforts of all kinds,
the summer�s heat, the winter�s cold,
my disappointment, tensions, and setbacks.
Remind me often that
in carrying my cross
I carry yours with you.� |
