Stations of the Cross 10

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

Part of the indignity is to be crucified naked. Jesus is completely stripped of any pride.  The wounds on his back are torn open again.  He experiences the ultimate vulnerability of the defenseless. No shield or security protects him.  As they stare at him, his eyes turn to heaven.

How much do I value modesty and purity, Lord?  My body was made by God and it is good. He gave me the power of giving life and giving love, two most precious gifts.  My body is sacred.  I will reverence it and the bodies of others.  Especially since you come into my body in Holy Communion and God is in me!
