Station 11
Jesus, pierced for me
You are stretched out on the cross you have carried so far. The soldiers take big nails and drive them into your hands and feet. You feel abandoned by the people you loved so much. People seem to have gone mad. You have done nothing but good, yet they drive nails through your hands and feet.
As an adult, sometimes I discriminate against others. Even without thinking, I judge others because of their color, intelligence, income level or name. I forget that I am to live as a brother or sister to all people.
Sometimes, I speak harshly to my family members and fail to offer heartfelt words to CLC members, unaware of their intentions. When faced with unfair treatment, I struggle to endure and understand others.
Help me look again at the people around me. Help me see the hurt and pain I have caused in others. Be with me to help me make amends for the harm I have done.
My Jesus, as you endured the agony of the nails piercing your tender hands and feet, may I crucify my own flesh through acts of Christian penance.
