Scene 14: Jesus Carries his Cross (Station 2)

My yoke is light ...
 Like nothing else in all the world the Crucifix asks the question: ‘Where do you stand?’

‘Which side will you take from this moment on — My side, or the side of moneyed Judas, cowardly Pilate, crafty Caiaphas, or lustful Herod?’

We cannot escape an answer. If on that Cross were someone who himself had been wrong and failed and had compromised with goodness, we could plead and excuse. But here neutrality is impossible, because there is no question of something more good or less good — there is only right and wrong.… We cannot be on both sides, anymore than we can be in Light and Darkness at the same time…

As we participate in the final stage of Jesus’ Way of the Cross consider what Jesus has done for you.

(That small meditation is from Cardinal Fulton Sheen)
Man Standard leading the procession

Guarded by Longinus and encouraged by Brutus

He carries His cross
