Twelfth Station: Jesus speaks to his mother and the disciple
We adore you, O Christ, and we bless you. Because by your holy cross you have redeemed the world.
Standing by the cross of Jesus were his mother and his mother’s sister, Mary the wife of Clopas, and Mary of Magdala. When Jesus saw his mother and the disciple there whom he loved, he said to his mother, “Woman, behold, your son.” Then he said to the disciple, “Behold, your mother.” And from that hour the disciple took her into his home. (John 19: 25-27)
Observe a few minutes of silent reflection.
Lord, grant us constancy that we may be willing to stand by those in need. Lord Jesus, help us walk in your steps.
Sing: When I survey the wondrous cross On which the Prince of glory died My richest gain I count but loss And pour contempt on all my pride.
