Stations of the Cross – First Station
Pilate condemns Jesus to death.
We adore you, O Christ, and we praise you;
Because by your holy cross you have redeemed the world.
| Reflection
Scripture:
“Then the whole assembly of them arose and brought Jesus before Pilate. They brought charges against him, saying, ‘We found this man misleading our people; he opposes the payment of taxes to Caesar and maintains that he is the Messiah, a king.” With loud shouts, however, they persisted in calling for his crucifixion and their voices prevailed. The verdict of Pilate was that their demand should be granted.’

A Prayer
“My Jesus, Lord,
obedience cost you your life.
For me
it costs an act of will –
no more –
and yet how hard it is for me to bend.
Remove the blinders from my eyes
that I may see that it is you whom I obey
in all who govern me.
Lord, it is you.”
