Reflections on the Stations of the Cross
by Marybeth R. Faustino
The Stations of the Cross, also known as The Way of the Cross or Via Crucis, feature a series of incidents in the earthly life of Jesus that depict His passion, death and resurrection. We slowly walk past each station, pausing for quiet meditation and prayers. Jesus has been tested yet found without sin.
As Christians, we believe that Jesus was not just a human being but also the unique Son of God, the Word of God in the flesh. In Jesus, we have not a God who is watching us from a distance, but Someone Who knows our every weakness, and Who is always there to help us in our time of trials.
Sufferings we all experience – a couple of times, we ask ourselves why do we have to suffer? God challenges us by putting us to the test. How far can we go? Will we still trust Him that He will never allow us to be overcome by despair and misery? We are gripped with fear that makes us doubt in God, but then at the end of the day, we should learn to trust Him, that He will not forsake us. If we cling to Him, He will never let us go. When hard times come our way, we ask help from Him and are assured of His unwavering guidance and protection. God will never abandon us because His love is eternal.
