The Thirteenth Station : Jesus is Taken Down from the Cross


We adore you, O Christ, and we praise you.
Because by your holy cross you have redeemed the world



Consider how Jesus' body, after merciless treatment and final piercing was removed from the instrument of His death. Only the holy relic that once held the person of the Son of God remained.

St. Paul was to tell us that our bodies, like His, are holy, - temples of the Holy Spirit - and that we mush not use them for any kind of banal purpose.


Let us then resolve to renounce all selfishness, which makes us unhealthy, hurts our relationships with others and keeps us from knowing the God for whom we are made, Then we will be called peacemakers and the Sons of God(Mt.5:9)
