RELFECTION ON STATION OF THE CROSS

Stations of the Cross is a way of reflection on the passion of our Lord Jesus Christ and how he died on the cross without committing any offense.  He lived and died without committing any sin. 

It is also a form of prayer. A strong prayer indeed. It is useful for our spiritual growth if you become accustomed to it in a meditative and devoted manner. You will be able to endure the trouble, problems and persecutions of this earthly life. In fact, you will be modified to the heavenly style of life.

When performing Stations of the Cross, let us open our life properly; let us be touched with the passions and the death of our lord Jesus Christ on the cross. Our lord accepted the passions and death on the cross because of the love he has for mankind.

Let us give him thanks for what he has done for us, let us love him above all things in heaven, on earth and under the earth. The only way we can show him love is by living a good life, praising, adoring and worshiping him always. Meditating on his suffering during stations of the cross is a way of expressing our love for him. Furthermore, let us offer him ourselves and allowing him to do with us whatever that pleases him. May we follow him whole heartedly to Calvary by accepting daily the crosses of our lives.

The Stations of the Cross is normally done during Lenten season which is the period the church commemorates the passions of our Lord Jesus Christ. It will be good if we can be holding it every Friday in remembrance of the day of our Lord Jesus Christ who died on the cross. In so doing, we will be contemplating his sacrificial suffering and death on the cross.  If we can do it every day, we shall be gaining more graces for ourselves. 

Stations of the Cross is normally done in the church. It can as well be done at your home. You can reflect upon the passion of our Lord Jesus with the Stations of the Cross while walking, travelling, at your place of work. In fact, wherever you are, you can hold stations of the cross if you wish. 

It will be nice enough for you to desire this act always. It is something worth doing. It is an act of LOVE. Whenever you wish to do it, do it meditatively and devotedly. In so doing, you see a lot of Jesus in your life. Don’t let laziness discourage you from performing this act. Seek the help of our Mother Blessed Virgin Mar, She will help you.

My brothers and sister let us begin now and be steadfast in it till the end of our lives. We will discover the JOY in it.
