The Fourth Station: Let
us meditate on Jesus meeting His Mother on the Way of the Cross.
The Lord saved the whole world through the Cross.
◊ Jesus Christ, we adore You and praise You.
The Lord of Love, Who suffered the extreme sorrow of
meeting His Mother on the Way of the Cross!
○ Whenever the numerous children in the world and,
especially, many of the children who have been called commit sins, sharp
swords, spears, and sticks mercilessly pierce the Lord's Sacred Heart, and
the crown of thorns is pressed down upon the Lord's head, causing more
bleeding. How sorrowful and lamentable this is! Also, who could possibly
imagine the pains inflicted on the Blessed Mother by the sharp swords that
pierced her Immaculate Heart?
● We firmly believe that, if we deeply repent of our
sins from now on and willingly carry the crosses given to us, we can meet
the Lord and the Blessed Mother Who are giving us courage and energy with
words of consolation and encouragement at every moment. We pray that we
may always meditate on the extreme pains that the Lord and the Blessed
Mother suffer, remain awake, and pray. (Meditate for a while.)
○ "The Lord, Who loves you so much, continues
bleeding like this. My Heart becomes torn apart for pains, as I watch
this. Shouldn't you wipe away His Blood and sweat?" (The Blessed
Mother's message on November 25, 1996)
Our Father, Hail Mary,
Glory be.
◘ Mother, we ask you to engrave the Lord's Wounds
deeply into our hearts.
