The First Station


Jesus is Condemned to Die:
Jesus stands in the most human of places. He has already experienced profound solidarity with so many on this earth, by being beaten and tortured. Now he is wrongfully condemned to punishment by death. His commitment to entering our lives completely begins its final steps. He has said "yes" to God and placed his life in God's hands. We follow him in this final surrender and contemplate with reverence each place along the way, as he is broken and given for us. We adore you, O Christ, and we bless you. Because by your holy cross you have redeemed the world.
