Station 10: Jesus is Stripped of His Garments (Bombshells)
Theme: We show our respect for the Creator by our stewardship of God’s creation
Tema: Mostramos nuestro respeto al Creador cuidando la creación de Dios
Scripture: Matthew 27:34-35
They gave Jesus wine to drink mixed with gall; but when he had tasted it, he would not drink. Then after they had crucified him, they divided his clothes, casting lots, to fulfill what was spoken through the prophet, “They divided my clothes among them, and upon my garments they cast lots.”
Reflection by Mission of Atonement Catholic and Lutheran Church:
The burden that crushes Jesus is like the burden of materialism. Every time the world worships things before people, power before justice, and consumption before the spirit, we lose what it means to be human and alive.
Prayers: We give thanks to the Lord for carrying our crosses when we did not have the strength to get up again. WE THANK YOU, LORD
Petitions: Let us pray that Jesus Christ pick us up each time we fall. O GOD, HEAR OUR PRAYER
Let us pray for the strength to go on when all seems hopeless. O GOD, HEAR OUR PRAYER
We commit ourselves to live simply so that others may simply live. O LORD, WE WANT TO WALK IN YOUR WAYS
LET THE ST. JOHN FISHER CATHOLIC COMMUNITY TAKE UP THE CROSS
Song: Vengan a la Cruz, Adoremos (repeat as often as desired)
