Station XI – Jesus is Nailed to the Cross
I look into the eyes of the God who allowed Himself to be nailed to a cross by His creation. Why, I ask? The answer I heard was so that His creation will know that we have a God who feels our suffering and joins in the human experience so that our self-inflicted suffering is not in vain.
Station XII – Jesus Dies
Humanity brought death into the world by their choice to disobey God. God also has made a choice. He made a choice to die at the hands of His creation so that forgiveness and reconciliation is theirs if they choose.
Station XIII – Jesus is taken down from the Cross
Mary feels the loss of God as He lies dead in her arms. She humbly accepts the pain in atonement for the sins of her children.
Station XIV – Jesus is placed in the Tomb
For the first time in her life, Mary feels completely abandoned and the sting of loneliness. She ponders this in her heart and holds on to the hope that God will fulfill His promise. What a sympathetic mother we have who knows our pain of loneliness, abandonment, emptiness.
God is love.
