Jesus’ walk to Calvary and his death were necessary for us to fully understand God’s work. We have to suffer death in order to partake in the resurrection. How far will we go to do the will of God? How much of our own selfish desire will we let die? How brave will we be in the face of evil? As you reflect on each station, ask yourself, What will it take for me to surrender all?" —Jen Norton Sample from a Reflection We can see clearly how our collective evil fixes him to the rugged Cross, how we have sealed his fate with our sinfulness. He reaches out, his eyes begging us to turn to him, but he cannot embrace us. We have averted our eyes and turned away. Our sin has him pinned down and keeps him at arm’s length. Sample Prayer Dear Jesus: Help me to grow in your love and to surrender all for your kingdom. You are not a distant God, remotely judging and condemning from afar. You are a personal God, alive in me. You call me by name. You created me, and all people, to share the same breath of spirit and the same dignity, which you have bestowed upon us from conception. When I am tempted to think too highly of myself, relying on my own understanding and worried about worldly opinions, remind me that in you I am already enough. When I am tempted to judge others, let me recall that I do not have that authority. I cannot be separated from your love, unless I choose to be. Help me do your will. Amen.
