SWC22

Brothers and Sisters, We have come together to follow the Lord Jesus on the way that leads to Calvary. There we shall meet people who followed him to the end —his Mother, the Beloved Disciple, the women who followed him in his preaching of the Good News— and all those, moved by compassion, who sought to console him and to alleviate his pain. We shall also meet those who called for his death and whom he, in an abundance of love, forgave. Let us ask him to pour forth into our hearts the sentiments that were his (Phil 2:5) so that we may “know him, and the power of his resurrection, and may share his sufferings, becoming like him in his death, that if possible [we] may attain the resurrection from the dead” (Phil 3:10-11). In the name of the Father, and of the Son, and of the Holy Spirit. Amen The Way of the Cross (detail) Martin Feuerstein (1856-1931) 11
