Morning
Tenth Station: Jesus is stripped of his clothes
We adore you, O Christ, and we bless you
for by your holy cross you have redeemed the world
Bible Reading – Mark 15. 22-24
They took Jesus to a place called Golgotha, which means the place of the skull. They tried to give him wine mixed with a drug called myrrh, but Jesus would not drink it. Then they crucified him and divided his clothing among themselves, throwing dice to see who would get each piece of clothing.
Meditation
Stripped now –
of clothing
of disciples
of friends.
Alone,
naked and vulnerable,
with nothing to protect you from the pain to come.
Prayer
For those who are alone and vulnerable;
for the homeless of our city:
Lord, in your mercy
hear our prayer.
