The First Station of the Cross

Tweet

Holy Monday - Our community will have a station of the cross. Each house will open their door and put up a station. The First Station - Jesus is condemn to death. Jesus is falsly accuse and the judgement is death. In the agony at the garden he forsee the comming events of his suffering. Prayer has given Him the strenght to suffer to the point of death. Many are in prison because of false accusation. Even ordinary people suffer the false judgement of other man. The measure that you judge others will be the same measure that God will use to judge you. How careless we live this life making others suffer because of our many ignorance and prejudice. When Pontius Pilate judged Jesus, he was uncertain about his own judgement. It was the clamour of the crowd and not his own. We seek healing in this moment as we find in our heart the many wounds of being falsy accused and being judge unfairly on others and the sins commited being rush in judging other. How often we become hypocrite and not seeing ourselves falling into the same trap. How often we put the cross on other people and not lifting our hands to lighten their buden - we become oppressors. Jesus gladly carry and embrace his cross. Martyrdom is the road few chooses to take. Fear of condemnation of men. The humiliation and contradiction to walk in the ways of truth and holiness. It was a heavy cross. Too heavy for a wounded God to carry. We too have our cross - daily the burden to living makes us weary to carry to another day. Let us follow Christ. Love of humanity and the desire to do the will of God. The price of Redemption is the Blood and Passion of Christ. Let us follow the way of the cross and unite our petty misery with Jesus. We too have to pay the price for our own sinful life and the sins of the world.
