Stations of the Cross
Opening Prayer
Mary, my Mother, you were
the first to live the Way of the Cross. You felt every pain and every
humiliation. You were unafraid of the ridicule
heaped upon you by the crowds. Your eyes were ever on Jesus and His Pain. Is that the secret of your
miraculous strength? How did your loving
heart bear such a burden and such a weight? As you watched Him stumble and
fall, were you tortured by the memory of all the yesterdays- His birth, His
hidden life and His ministry?
