First Station with Mary

 

First Station: Jesus is Condemned to Die.

John 19:6

When they saw him the chief priests and the guards shouted, ‘crucify him! Crucify him!’ Pilate said, ‘take him yourselves and crucify him: I can find no case against him.’

What crowd are you shouting from? After listening to the Passion on Palm Sunday, it made me think what crowd I am a part of and what am I shouting?’ Am I shouting ‘Hosanna! Blessed is the one who comes in the name of the Lord?’ Or am I shouting, ‘Crucify him!’

I would like to think I would be in the crowd shouting ‘Hosanna!’ I know there are times in my life where I have judged and wanted the worst things to happen to some people but when I read the first station and walk with Mary, I understand that she is teaching us to love and be kind to one another. How do you think Mary felt when she heard the crowd shout ‘Crucify him?’ I could only assume she was confused, and her heart was broken by many voices yelling and crying out ‘Crucify him!’.

May God Bless Always
