Diary of a Steeple Chaser

November 23, 2012

Well I did mange to visit a church and load up some new pics and finish up The Way of the Cross Series II.  Right now the plan for December is to finish up the Black and White Post Card Series. Once again I am unsure on what I am going to do next year blog wise.

Station XIV

Jesus is buried

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

  

Joseph (of Arimathea) bought some linen cloth, took down the Body, wrapped It in the linen, and placed It in a tomb cut out of rock. Then he rolled a stone against the entrance of the tomb.
MARK 15:46

Lord let me die in you and remain buried within me, I look forward to the moment of the resurrection from the dead when you will reveal your Glory to me. For now let me adore you in the Blessed Sacrament and grant the grace to live a holy life.

Station XIII

Jesus is taken down from the cross

"We adore you, O Christ and we bless you.

Because by your holy cross you have redeemed the world."

They will look on Me, the one they have pierced, and they will mourn for Him as one mourns for an only child, and grieve bitterly for Him as one grieves for a firstborn son. Zechariah 12:10

Lord, as you rested in the arms of your Mother, so I want to rest in your Sacred Heart, receive my brokenness and heal me for everlasting life.

Station XII

Jesus dies on the cross 

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

And when Jesus had cried out again in a loud voice, he gave up His spirit. Matthew 26:50 

Lord, it is here on the cross that you ask the Father to forgive me, here you give me your Mother to be my Heavenly Mother, here you promise me to be with you in your Kingdom. I come to meet you and to partake of your holy sacrifice as I receive you in Holy Communion, grant me to relive your passion daily, unite me to your Precious Blood, Have Mercy on me Lord and on the whole world.

Station XI

 Jesus is nailed to the cross

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

Just as Moses lifted up the snake in the desert, so the Son of Man must be lifted, that everyone who believes in him may have eternal life. John 3:14-15

Lord, you have called me to be your disciple, to deny myself and to follow you. As I come before you, I crucify my will to yours, I crucify all the temptations of the world, the devil and the flesh and I pray for total submission to your Holy Will.
