Sixth Station

Veronica wipes the face of Jesus

Hands, brave yet gentle

Cradle his face

Soft swaddling takes the pain

Blood, sweat, tears

Gathered up

In folds of kindness

Never to be forgotten

Fifth Station at Word in the Hand

Fourth Station

Jesus meets his mother

Eyes, then hearts meet

Arms that held the child hold the man

My body, my blood

My son.

Third Station at Word in the Hand

Second Station

 Jesus receives the Cross

You said ‘Take my yoke upon you’

But we were too weary 

And too wary to believe

That this way would bring rest.

Our burden is yours alone

First Station at Word in the Hand
