THE SEVENTH STATION: JESUS FALLS THE SECOND TIME


There is no stopping you Jesus.

You have legitimate barriers in front of you. You have been: beaten, sleep deprived, under the increasing weight of the cross, etc. x100,000. Even as your face slams to the ground, as dirt and pebbles break your fall, as the crowds grow increasingly impatient and unkind, you continue.

Why? Who would do that?

Because you are Love. Your eyes are fixed on me, on us. There is no barrier too high, wide, scary, or painful. I am beloved.

Reflection: Do I know that I am loved (really)? What stops me from living out my faith? What barriers are between Jesus and I?
