Stations of the Cross
Eighth Station
Jesus meets the women of Jerusalem
We adore you O Christ and we Praise You
Because by your Holy Cross you have Redeemed the World.
Poem
Jerusalem, city of peace, embroiled now in anger and spiteful rejection
A mob out for blood jeers at an innocent man, walking to his crucifixion
Jesus stops for a moment and looks towards the women who lament
Compassion pours words from his parched throat, his heart speaks out
His plea halts their tears, for a moment their wailing becomes a silence
Grief flows through every human emotion, awestruck by his divine presence
Meditation
The religious authority introduced professional mourners to the crowd who were witnessing the crucifixion. These pious women were wailing for the theatre of it all, crying out to make it a spectacle to be remembered, then falling silent after he passed by, their job done. Real grief cries out in pain. Our grief records our loss, experiences the depth’s of despair, the hollowness of separation, the sheer terror of losing a loved one’s company and warming presence. Grief watches as the radiant light of a life once lived is snuffed from the world, leaving only darkness. Grief is truly terrible. Jesus’ words softly spoken amidst the maelstrom of brutality and suffering, soothes the threat of grief to overwhelm. His words restore hope to banish despair from our breaking hearts. Christ’s words spoken in love, cut down grief and implores us to carry on. Jeus calls us gently to bear our own light to the world and in death when our own light is extinguished on earth, we are to carry our light to eternity. Jesus is the healer of grief, the one who quietens the noise it brings, Jesus restores our peace once more.
