Twelfth Station:  Let us meditate on Jesus dying on the Cross.

bullet.gif  We adore You, O Christ, and we praise You.
radial_red_1.gif  Because by Your holy cross, You have redeemed the world.

bullet.gif  Most beloved Lord, You have become the Sacrificial Victim by offering up Your whole Body for the salvation of the human race!

radial_blue_1.gif  The Lord, Who was innocent, forgave those who were killing Him by praying, "Father, forgive them, for they know not what they do." (Luke 23:34)

We have wounded our neighbors and also have been wounded by them because of jealousy and envy, hatred and reproaches, feeling of being betrayed and anger, misunderstandings and hardened resentments, and sometimes unavoidable circumstances.  Let us deeply meditate on the Love of the Lord Who forgave even those who were killing Him.  Have mercy on us so that we may repent all the sins we have committed until now and forgive and love even our enemies.

radial_purple.gif  When one of the robbers condemned to death and hung on a cross on the right side of the Lord implored the Lord, filled with trust in Him, "Lord, remember me when thou shalt come into thy kingdom," the Lord saw his truly repentant eyes and said, "Amen I say to thee, this day thou shalt be with me in paradise." (Luke 23:42-43)

Even when we feel that we are so incapable of doing anything and so unworthy and when we are so frustrated and depressed that we even wish to drown ourselves, help us totally repent our sins, implore the Lord, filled with trust in Him like the good robber, become little souls in simple ways according to the Will of the Lord and the Blessed Mother, and enter Heaven on the last day through the Lord's sublimest love with which He shed His Blood and water to the last drop while He was nailed to the Cross for three hours in the midst of the humiliation of receiving all kinds of hatred and insults, and through the merits that He earned when His side was penetrated by a spear and His Heart was pierced by it.  (Meditate for a while.)

radial_blue_1.gif  "My beloved little souls!  The humiliation that My Human Nature suffered while I was nailed to the Cross and was dying miserably in extreme pains was truly tragic.  However, it was not really a shame or humiliation but God's infinite love for the purpose of saving the human race."  (The Lord's message on August 5, 1986, from Julia's diary)  We will always remember these words of the Lord, become little souls who do penance for the insults given to the Lord and console the Blessed Mother, and more gracefully offer up our whole lives by converting them into prayers. 

radial_red_1.gif  Amen.

Our Father, Hail Mary, and Glory be.

radial_red_1.gif  Mother, we ask you to engrave the Lord's Wounds deeply into our hearts.
