Holy Week Art Walk
Station 8: The Cross
|
When the centurion saw what had taken place, he praised God and said, “Certainly this man was innocent.” And when all the crowds who had gathered there for this spectacle saw what had taken place, they returned home, beating their breasts. But all his acquaintances, including the women who had followed him from Galilee, stood at a distance, watching these things.
-Luke 23:47-49 |
“Passion
Beautiful and painful love
A journey like
No other.
Let me walk with you Jesus.
Let me hold your cross when it gets too heavy.
I wish I could save you.
But I can’t.
It hurts me to see you this way.
My shepherd
My friend
My Lord
Holy Love
Generous Love
Ultimate Love”
