The Second Station: Let
us meditate on Jesus carrying the Cross.
The Lord saved the whole world through the Cross.
◘ Jesus Christ, we adore You and praise You.
The Lord of Love, Who willingly carried the Cross to
save the whole human race!
○ Because the Lord was condemned like a criminal and
carried the Cross in order to save the human race, the Blessed Mother said
in Naju, "Except through the Cross, you cannot attain sanctity"
(November 26, 1989). But we have frequently tried not to carry the cross
caused not by others but by our own sins, complaining even about little
pains like headaches, bruises, and scratches, and trying to lay down the
cross. That is why Jesus continues suffering pains under the heavy Cross
even at this moment.
● Help us to deeply repent of our sins and mistakes,
not to refuse the cross given to us, and to draw closer to the Lord
through the Blessed Mother, looking at Jesus Who is climbing Golgotha Hill
carrying the heavy Cross, dragging His Body covered with wounds caused by
the crown of thorns and scourging, and receiving ridicules and scorns by
the crowd. (Meditate for a while.)
○ "I will grant whatever you sincerely ask for My
sake, but superficial prayers cannot move My Father, My Mother or Me.
Now, as there is no more time to hesitate and procrastinate, make haste to
unite your forces and make a new start" (The Lord's message on June
11, 2002).
◘ Amen.
Our Father, Hail Mary,
and Glory be.
◘ Mother, we ask you to engrave the Lord's Wounds
deeply into our hearts. |
