GOOD FRIDAY ~ The Stations of The Cross, the physiological & anatomical aspects of the Crucifixion

 

LORD WE ARE SINNERS. COME WITH YOUR MERCY. 

O Most Sweet Mother, for all the Suffering you endured, Help us to carry our cross.


† the 1st Station You were arrested, tortured & condemned to death.

† the 2nd Station You took the heavy Cross upon Your wounded & bleeding shoulders. The shards of wood pierced Your flesh.

† the 3nd Station You fell for the 1st time unable to block the fall causing grave injury to Your knees. 

† the 4th Station You met Your afflicted Mother in whose pure & holy body was perfectly mirrored Your agony & suffering.

† the 5th Station You accepted help carrying the Cross for the sake of your Mother.

† the 6th Station You received Mercy from Veronica at the request of Your Mother.

† the 7th Station You fell for the 2nd time. The wound in Your shoulder cut to the bone.

† the 8th Station Yet You got up to console the women.

† the 9th Station You fell for the 3rd time. O, unutterable exhaustion!

† the 10th Station You were stripped Lord Jesus, & the flesh of Your gaping wounds was torn when Your robes were violently ripped from Your Body for the 4th time.

† the 11th Station You were crucified Lord Jesus, & Your hands were stretched so tightly that every bone in Your body dislocated; every muscle & tendon was torn. & with Most Holy Mary, Woman Clothed with The Sun,  The Battle Began & does now approach full Victory!

† the 12th Station You expired Jesus, & Your heart was pierced by a lance but only Your Mother felt this agony.

† the 13th Station You were taken down from the Cross & placed into Your Mother's arms & She closed your gaping wounds with Her hands & bathed Your body with Her tears & Her heart became your 1st sepulcher.

† the 14th Station You were buried Lord Jesus, but Your Mother had already buried You deeply within the Sepulcher of Her Immaculate Heart.
