Jesus Meets His Mother
Fourth Station:  Jesus meets His Mother
The Fourth Station
We adore you, O Christ, and we bless you.
Because by your holy cross you have redeemed the world.

Jesus' path takes him to a powerful source of his strength to continue.  All his life, his mother had taught him the meaning of the words, "Behold, the handmaid of the Lord."  Now they look into each other's eyes.  How pierced-through her heart must be!  How pained he must be to see her tears!  Now, her grace-filled smile blesses his mission and stirs his heart to its depth.  Love and trust in God bind them together.

Mary's mission was to give Christ to the world. By my Christlike life, I show Christ to the world. Help me to do this, O Jesus.
