VIII. Jesus meets the Women of Jerusalem
|
 |
We adore you, O Christ, and we bless You, because by
Your holy cross, You have redeemed the world |
Meditation:
I was walking a few steps behind my son when I saw him stop. Some women
were there crying for him and pitying him. He told them not to shed tears
for him. They had the opportunity to accept him as the messiah; like many
others, they rejected him instead. He told them to shed tears for themselves,
tears that would bring their conversion. They did not see the connection
between that and his walk to death. I did, and as he walked on, I followed
silently.

Prayer:
My savior, many times I have acted like these women, always seeing the
faults in others and pitying them. Yet, very rarely do I see my own sinfulness
and asked your pardon. Forgive me Lord, for my own blindness. Lord Jesus,
give me the grace and humility to acknowledge my own faults and not those
of others. |
Our Father...Hail Mary...Glory Be...
