They are not going to be in order. That's just me. Today I was thinking about Jesus meeting his mother on the via dolorosa.
Station 4 Jesus meets his mother
Jesus meets
Mary, his mother. She looks into his eyes. How can she bear this burden of
pain? She remembers the prophecy of Simeon who said ‘A sword will pierce your
heart.’ The sword has pierced. She feels the pain of the twist. If she could
bear this burden for him she would. But she knows it is his. She says nothing,
but he knows her love.
O Lord,
sometimes it hurts worse when I see the pain in the eyes of others than when I
feel it myself. May I never purposely cause pain for those I love and may I
always have someone who loves me to look in my eyes and share my pain when I
travel in anguish.
