Jesus Is Stripped
As if collapsing three times is not enough, now he stands naked, bleeding, beaten, utterly humbled, but not humiliated.
For Reflection
There is a turning point when things have reached their worst, a turning point not in our circumstances but in our attitudes. When nothing we imagined about Easter, High School or College graduations, Proms, or Weddings has come to pass and may never be, we begin to see what treasure life alone is.
Action
Walk the labyrinth. There is no way to get lost. As you walk its twists and turns, consider any turning points you’ve observed during this time.
When you’re ready, offer this prayer and move to the next station. map
We adore you, O Christ and we bless you. Because by your Holy Cross, you have redeemed the world. Amen.
