“The Way of the Cross” contemplation originated with pilgrims and crusaders to Jerusalem following the steps of Jesus to Golgatha. For centuries Christians have remembered Jesus’ final days in pictures placed along a path or as a printed sheet.

Questions

What passage in this scripture most resonates or offends you? Why?
How did you walk through an awful situation? Did this experience change your understanding of, or connection with, God?
When have your shown courageous love by going the distance for someone?
What does the cross mean to you, personally?

Prayer
Jesus, help us be awake with you in Gethsemane.
Help us stay awake and unafraid
as we walk a path through suffering.
Help us resist the impulse to pin you down,
to fit you inside a story and inside a book that can be shut.
Help us resist the impulse to pin ourselves down,
to fit ourselves inside a story too small for our souls.
The truth is too big for a book– it’s loose in the world.
Christ, help us be awake with you in the world.
Help us stay awake and unafraid
as we walk a path through suffering.
Amen.
