Jesuit Retreat House Cleveland Ohio


Stations of the Cross – #11 

Jesus is nailed to the cross.

We adore you, O Christ, and we praise you;
Because by your holy cross you have redeemed the world.

Reflection

Scripture:
“When they came to the place called the Skull, they crucified Jesus and the criminals there, one on his right, and the other on his left. Then Jesus said, “Father, forgive them, for they know not what they do.” Pilate also had an inscription written and put on the cross. It read, “Jesus the Nazorean, the King of the Jews.”

[John 19, 18-19]

A Prayer

“My God, I look at you and think:
is my soul worth this much?

What can I give you in return?

I here and now accept 
for all my life
whatever sickness, torment, agony may come.
To every cross I touch my lips.

O blessed cross that lets me be –
with you – 
a co-redeemer of humanity.”
