Station 11 - Jesus Is Crucified

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


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



John 19:18-19

There they crucified him, and with him two others, one on either side, with Jesus between them.


Christ Speaks To Me: Enter my death...

Executioners stretch out my arms; hand held to wood - nails pierce my flesh. Pain explodes through my entire body.

My other arm is seized and pain I thought could not get worse, escalates beyond comprehension.

They raise my knees next until they are flat against the wood and hammer them fast. To breath, I must push upwards, against the spikes through my flesh and pray I might hold for just a moment.

One.

Agonizing.

Breath.

I Reply: My Jesus, My Lord - My God! I look to you and think; Is my life, my soul worth this much?

What could I possibly give in return?

What gift, so precious and profound could I give?

My Jesus, My God, here, today I accept what sickness, torment, or pain that may come.

To each and every cross of my life - I touch my trembling lips.

That blessed cross inviting me -

to be co-redeemer with you.

Amen.
