Stations of the Cross

Station 9: Jesus Meets the Women of Jerusalem (Luke 23:27-28)

While Jesus was carrying His cross, He met some women from Jerusalem who were crying. They were very sad because they knew that Jesus was good person and did not deserve to die. Even though He was in incredible pain himself, Jesus stopped to comfort them and bless them.


Station 10: Jesus is Crucified (Luke 23:33-34)

Jesus came to teach us about God’s love. Jesus wanted us to listen to Him and follow His way. Some people did not like what Jesus was teaching them, and so they decided to crucify Him on the cross. But even on the cross, Jesus continued to teach us about God’s love. Because Jesus was crucified, we can now share eternal life with God.


Read and reflect on the passages.


1. How am I, this Lenten season, following Jesus on His path to the cross?

2. Once Jesus was nailed to the cross, what does Jesus say to the criminals on His right and His left, during the last hours of His life?

3. How do I want to respond to Jesus’ offer of forgiveness today?
