Station 7: Crucified

Crying out in a loud voice, Jesus said, “Father, into your hands I entrust my life.” After saying this, he breathed his last. Luke 23:46

The crowd and religious establishment demanded Jesus be crucified. He was harassed, beaten and mocked as he carried the Roman cross to Golgotha where he was nailed upon it. God’s redemption of pain, suffering and death that occurred in Christ’s crucifixion is represented by this path.

Scripture

Father, forgive them for they do not know what they are doing. Luke 23:34

Reflection

What do you see in the cross? Ponder the depth of Christ’s love for you and the world exhibited in the cross. In what ways are you in need of forgiveness?

Prayer

Thank God for the grace, forgiveness and redemption he brings you—and all of humanity—in the Cross.
