Jesus meets his mother STATION IV

STATION IV


Jesus meets his mother

We adore You, O Christ, and we bless You,
because by Your holy Cross, You have redeemed the world.

You see your mother. She can't make the hurting stop, but it helps to see that she is on your side, that she is suffering with you.

'Did you not know that I must be in My Father's house?'(Luke 2:49).'Come, all you who pass by the way, look and see whether there is any suffering like My suffering.'(Lamen 1:12)

'You also are now in anguish. But I will see you again, and your hearts will rejoice, and no one will take your joy away from you.'(John 16:22)

My most loving Jesus, by the sorrow You experienced in this meeting, grant me the grace of a truly devoted love for Your most holy Mother. And you, my Queen, who were overwhelmed with sorrow, obtain for me by your intercession a continual remembrance of the Passion of your Son. I love You, Jesus, my love; I repent of ever having offended You. Never permit me to offend You again. Grant that I may love You always; and then do with me what You will.

Our Father... Hail Mary... Glory Be...

Lord Jesus, crucified. Have mercy on us.
