stations of the Cross

Jesus is condemned to death

Lord Jesus You are the King of all the universe.. You are the eternal Word through whom everything was created.. and here You are condemned to death by Your own creatures!! You made them, and now You're letting Yourself be killed by them? You lay down Your life freely... that is how much You love.. Your love is stronger than death, stronger than anything, You have loved us more than Your own glory.

Jesus receives the cross

Lord how was it for You, looking at that Cross.. knowing that so soon, You would be nailed to it and left to die.. were You afraid? But You embraced Your cross. Lord let me embrace my own cross for love of You.

Jesus falls the first time

Lord then You fell and heard the mocking laughter of the soldiers.. there is no one more powerful and strong than You, yet You let Yourself take on a human nature; be so weak.. You fell.. Lord i wish i was there to help You as You carried that Cross

Jesus meets His Mother

Mary, how much sorrow you must have felt seeing your Son in so much pain.. Your heart was pierced by a sword of grief also. How you love Jesus..You were with Him to the end. help me love Him too and help me not be afraid to suffer with and for Him..

Simon of Cyrene carries the cross

Lord let me too share in Your suffering! give me courage for this..

Veronica wipes Jesus' face with her veil

Jesus, Veronica loved You so much and she comforted You in Your sorrowful journey.. let me comfort You too Lord and console Your Heart that is so wounded by our sins..give me the grace to always love You and to never stop loving You not for one moment. let me bring You joy and delight Your Heart.

Jesus falls the second time

Lord You are Almighty yet You made Yourself so weak, so vulnerable, for us, so that we can come to You in our weakness..

Jesus meets the daughters of Jerusalem

Lord even during Your great suffering, You still thought of others..and offered them wisdom and guidance

Jesus falls the third time

Lord Your humility amazes me.

Jesus is stripped of His garments

Jesus You deserve all the glory of the world and all the glory of Heaven.. yet Your crown was a crown of thorns..
You are the King of Mercy, yet You were beaten and scourged mercilessly..till You were covered in blood..
You allowed Yourself to be mocked and treated with such cruelty. You went through so much Jesus i don't understand how You can love us this much.
i find it so hard to give up the smallest things for You and You gave up everything, You endured everything.. help me love You above all else

Crucifixion: Jesus is nailed to the cross

Jesus i can't imagine the torture.. You were forsaken by Your friends, betrayed, in unimaginable pain.. and then watched as the people You came to save, the people You loved before creation, the people You made to know Your love...nailed You to a cross to die. when You saw the soldiers driving the nails through Your hands and feet..did You still love each of them.. You prayed "Father forgive them for they know not what they do".. i am so amazed at Your love Lord!!!!
Jesus i just realized that..every time i sin i crucify You too. i can't stand this it breaks my heart..

Jesus dies on the cross

Lord..my dear Jesus..You died, in torment, sinless and holy but separated from Your Father, with all the weight of our sins upon You.. i can't imagine the loneliness You felt..You are ONE with the Father but at that moment, in the moment of such agony, He turned His face away.. how much He must have suffered too!!! Lord this is too much for me to understand, Your love is too much for me to understand..
and before You died, You cried "I thirst".. You thirst for souls and for us to return Your love, You want so much for all to accept Your mercy and to live with You forever, to be redeemed and united with the Father.. and You knew so many would reject You, and in spite of all Your suffering *still* be separated from You for all eternity (how the loss of souls must hurt You!!!) yet You still went through all all this.

and when You died...Your Sacred Heart, so full of love and mercy and kindness..was pierced by a sword
Jesus i can't take this in..
You told St. Faustina, the "ocean of Mercy opened up for the whole world".
the Divine Mercy image...
"The two rays denote Blood and Water. The pale ray stands for the Water which makes souls righteous. The red ray stands for the Blood which is the life of souls. These two rays issued forth from the depths of My tender mercy when My agonized Heart was opened by a lance on the Cross. Happy is the one who will dwell in their shelter, for the just hand of God shall not lay hold of him"



I CAN'T BELIEVE I EVER DISTRUSTED YOUR MERCY, EVEN AFTER ALL THIS !!! Jesus please forgive me that i have.. i love You, i want to always love You, with all my heart.. i want to always trust You my Jesus..
Lord i can't understand how great Your love is and no words are enough to describe it.. i am the one who crucified You, i am the one who mocked You, i am the one who hated You.. this is how i repaid You for loving me from all eternity, for creating me with such a great hope and plan.. this is how i repaid You..
and You had all the right to destroy me or put me in hell forever, but instead You...GAVE YOUR LIFE FOR ME....You hung on the cross, in unimaginable pain, SINLESS, HOLY, for me... You loved me, i hated You, hurt You with my sins, and You still loved me MORE THAN YOUR LIFE.

words are not enough..
