Twelfth Station: Jesus Dies on the Cross

The Way of the Cross, Prayed in honor of the way of our martyrs in the Middle East:

Please scroll down for Spanish and Arabic Translations

12-Twelfth Station12th Station: Jesus Dies on the Cross

Call: We adore you, O, Christ, and we bless you.

Response: Because by your holy Cross, you have redeemed the world.

“After this, aware that everything was now finished, in order that the scripture might be fulfilled, Jesus said, ‘I thirst.’ There was a vessel filled with common wine. So they put a sponge soaked in wine on a sprig of hyssop and put it up to his mouth. When Jesus had taken the wine, he said, ‘It is finished.’ And bowing his head, he handed over the spirit.” John 19:28-30

Meditation prayer:

Lord, Jesus, our brother, your death on the cross was the triumph of good over evil. You handed over the spirit to the Father. Your work was done. In this is our hope. We hear of many miracles of strength and courage amidst all the fear and anxiety. We know that your presence still walks and lives in our world today; even if the world is unmindful of this fact, we are not! Send down your consolation to all those who mourn. Lord, lead out the people who are blind though they have eyes, who are deaf though they have ears. Isaiah 43:8. Change the hearts of those who persecute our brothers and sisters., We call upon your power to touch them so that they can see and hear your words of love and peace. May you open my eyes and ears this day to hear your word.

Vía Crucis, una oración honrando el camino de nuestros mártires en Irak y el Oriente Medio:

12* Duodécima Estación: Jesús muere en la cruz

Guía: Te adoramos, oh Cristo, y te bendecimos.

Respuesta: Que por tu santa Cruz redimiste al mundo.

“Después de esto, consciente de que todo estaba cumplido, para que la Escritura se cumpliese, Jesús dijo, ‘Tengo sed.’ Había un recipiente lleno de vino común. Y pusieron una esponja empapada de vino en una ramita de hisopo y se la acercaron a la boca. Cuando Jesús tomó el vinagre, dijo: ‘Todo está consumado.’ E inclinando la cabeza, entregó el espíritu” Juan 19: 28-30.

Meditación:

Señor Jesús, nuestro hermano, su muerte en la cruz fue el triunfo del bien sobre el mal. Tú entregaste tu espíritu al Padre. Cumpliste con tu misión. Y en esto está nuestra esperanza. Oímos hablar de muchos milagros, de los valores y el coraje de la gente, a pesar del miedo y la ansiedad que hay. Sabemos que su presencia todavía está con nosotros en nuestro caminar. Aunque el mundo no se da cuenta, ¡no estamos solos! Derrama tu consuelo a todos los que lloran. “Señor, guía a las personas que son ciegas aunque tengan ojos, que son sordos, aunque tengan oídos.” Isaías 43: 8 Cambia los corazones de aquellos que persiguen a nuestros hermanos y hermanas, hacemos un llamado a tu poder para que puedan ver y escuchar tus palabras de amor y de paz. Ábreme mis ojos y mis oídos hoy día para escuchar tu palabra.

Continuamos con la próxima estación: Decimotercera Estación: Jesús es bajado de la Cruz y Decimocuarta Estación: Jesús es colocado en el sepulcro
