I will wait until the mourning is over
I will wait until the morning has come
Like a faithful hound
I will cling to the grave
'til the call that the master is home

A final goodnight
The blessing of Shabbat for a beloved Son
May
God bless you and protect you.
May
God’s face shine toward you
and show you favour.

Twelfth Station
 |
| Chapel - Ampleforth Abbey |
Why?
Hast thou forsaken me?
Last breath gasps in hope
Releasing the Spirit to Heaven’s Gate.
Drawing a veil over a grieving God.
Raging winds that roar a promise
No more, my Son;

Tenth Station
 |
| The Hermitage - Assisi |
Jesus
is stripped of his clothing
No mercy
No prayerful hand reaches out in faith
Instead, fear tugs at his robes
Removing the remains of a life past
Seeking to shame

Eighth Station

| Medieval Woman Merchant - Hexham Cathedral |
Mother’s hearts carry
The lament of the forsaken
Sorrow falls in drops onto baked stones
Fading prayers seeking heaven’s hand
Blessed are those who mourn

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.
