Jesus Is Nailed To The Cross
For then, for before then, for now, for what will be, for all of eternity, every moment of human suffering is fixed in God’s incarnate body nailed to that wood.
For Reflection
For each of us, there is a moment of truth, literally our personal “Come to Jesus” when we face every fear and cannot turn away from how painful it is to experience it. But, it is also the moment we say, “this ends now.” What in your life are you ready to hand over to God once and for all?
Action
Take a nail from the box below. Let it represent what you’ve left nailed to the cross. Keep it as a reminder that it is finished.
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.
