Thirteenth Station

Jesus is taken down

from the Cross

 

 

 

 

Reflection

Jesus’ lifeless body is taken down from the cross by his disciples Joseph and Nicodemus.  Mary finds the strength to hold him for the last time in her arms.  Here is a true reflection of God’s love.  Not status, power, and wealth, but a whole life dedicated to healing people and sharing God’s Reign with all.  How many mothers go through the same feelings when they bury their children because of war and killings, drugs and abuse, hunger and death penalty.

Prayer - Standing in awe before your broken and lifeless body, O Lord, we believe that your death on the Cross brought new life to humanity. Help us to give generously of ourselves in all that we do for you, that God’s will be achieved in our lives.  Amen.
