On this Holy Friday I share this thoughtful reflection on the Stations of the Cross by Irish theologian and poet, Pádraig Ó Tuama. He recorded this reflection for the first Holy Week of the COVID era.
Pádraig walks us through the “traditional” Roman Catholic 14 stations:
- Jesus is condemned
- The cross is put on Jesus’ shoulders
- Jesus falls for the first time
- Jesus meets his beloved mother
- Simon of Cyrene helps Jesus to carry the cross
- Veronica wipes the face of Jesus
- Jesus falls for the second time
- Jesus comforts the women of Jerusalem
- Jesus falls for the third time
- Jesus is stripped
- Jesus is nailed to the cross
- Jesus dies
- Jesus is put in the arms of his mother
- Jesus’ corpse is put in a tomb
Peace, dwight
Stations of the Cross
