Station 10 - Jesus Is Stripped

We adore You O Christ And We Praise You...


For By Your Holy Cross, You have Redeemed The World.



John 19:23

When the soldiers had crucified Jesus, they took his clothes and divided them into four parts, one for each soldier.


Christ Speaks To Me: Behold - the poorest king who ever lived. I stand before my whole creation, stripped and naked. The crowd is filled with scorn. Still, I give...and give.

Yet who has been as rich?

Possessing nothing, I own all through my Father's love.

If you would own all, you must give all - your food, your clothing...

Your life.

I Reply: My Jesus, My Lord, I give you all I have, all that I possess and more - I give you my Self.

help me to detach from those cravings for prestige, position, wealth.

Root out of me all trace of envy at my brother or sister who has more than I. Release me from bondage to pride, the desire to exalt myself. Lead me to the lower places where I might be poor in spirit.

So that I might be rich in your love.

Amen.
