Station XII
Jesus Dies On The Cross

We adore You, O Christ, and we bless You because by Your holy Cross you have redeemed the world.

Look at Jesus
   Finally, after the long walk, after falling three times, after having the men beat him, after being nailed to the cross and suffering on the cross, Jesus bows his head and dies.

   Now this part of his life is over.  There is nothing left for Jesus to give or to do.  Jesus has given his life for all of us.

Look at Your Heart
   Did you ever feel that you wanted to make something better, or that if you only tried harder, something would change that you want to change?  Or maybe you felt that you did not try hard enough at something, and something bad happened.

   If you can think of a time like that, then show Jesus your heart, and let him love you.  When you are ready, you can ask Jesus to help your heart be more like his heart.
