SECOND STATION V/. Adoramus te, Christe, et benedicimus tibi.
From the Gospel according to Matthew. 27:27-31 Then the soldiers of the governor took Jesus into the governors headquarters, and they gathered the whole cohort around him. They stripped him and put a scarlet robe on him, and after twisting some thorns into a crown, they put it on his head. They put a reed in his right hand and knelt before him and mocked him, saying: Hail, King of the Jews!. They spat on him, and took the reed and struck him on the head. After mocking him, they stripped him of the robe and put his own clothes on him. Then they led him away to crucify him.
MEDITATION In Christs passion, hatred was unleashed:our own hatred, and the hatred of all humanity. [1] In Christs passion, our evil recoiled before goodness, our pride exploded with resentment in the face of humility, our depravity was outraged by Gods radiant clarity. And thus we became ... Gods cross! We, in our silly rebellion, But God takes the cross upon his shoulders, God takes the cross!
[1]
Lk 22:53.
you entered human history and found it hostile to you, [2] defiant towards God, maddened by the pride which leads us to think that we stand as tall .... as our shadow! Lord Jesus, Heal me, Jesus, by your patience,
[2]
Jn 1:10-11.
All: Pater noster, qui es in cælis: Cuius animam gementem,
