Stations of the Cross - First Station 

Pilate condemns Jesus to death.

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

Reflection

Scripture:
�Then the whole assembly of them arose and brought Jesus before Pilate. They brought  charges against him, saying, �We found this man misleading our people; he opposes the payment of taxes to Caesar and maintains that he is the Messiah, a king.� With loud shouts, however, they persisted in calling for his crucifixion and their voices prevailed. The verdict of Pilate was that their demand should be granted.�

A Prayer

�My Jesus, Lord,
obedience cost you your life.
For me 
it costs an act of will � 
no more �
and yet how hard it is for me to bend.

Remove the blinders from my eyes
that I may see that it is you whom I obey
in all who govern me.
Lord, it is you.�
