As one drives or walks in a city, there are so many things to read. \u00a0Advertisements, billboards, road signs, warnings, inscriptions, posters, historical markers, graffiti etc. \u00a0Most of these do not evoke a deep emotional response, they simply want us to purchase an item, vote for a candidate or stay out of a construction zone.<\/p>\n
While in Jerusalem I read an inscription while walking down a busy road while participating in the Stations of the Cross. \u00a0Not only did it evoke a poignant response from me, but now every time I take part in Stations of the Cross, I remember it. \u00a0The words pierced me right through the heart.<\/p>\n
O vos omnes qui transitis per viam, attendite et videte si est dolor sicut dolor meus.<\/p>\n
O you all who walk by on the road, pay attention and see if there is any sorrow like my sorrow.<\/p>\n
The inscription spoke directly to me who was literally walking by on the road meditating on the passion of Christ. \u00a0It was an invitation to meditate more deeply the redeeming suffering and death of Our Savior.<\/p>\n
Through the death of Jesus we are redeemed and he is exalted by God the Father forever. \u00a0Here the great mysteries of the incarnation and the passion merge. \u00a0Saint Paul wrote of Jesus Christ in his letter to the Philippians:<\/p>\n
\u201cHe emptied himself, taking the form of a slave, coming in human likeness; and found human in appearance, he humbled himself, becoming obedient to death, even death on a cross. \u00a0Because of this, God greatly exalted him and bestowed on him the name that is above every name, that at the name of Jesus every knee should bend, of those in heaven and on earth and under the earth, and every tongue confess that Jesus Christ is Lord, to the glory of God the Father.\u201d<\/p>\n
The more we meditate on the passion of Christ, the more we experience his love for us. \u00a0The more we experience His love, the more our lives are transformed and filled by his grace. \u00a0The more we meditate on the passion, the greater our rejoicing will be at the glory of the resurrection.<\/p>\n
May these last days of Lent be fruitful as we prepare to remember and celebrate the Sacred Mysteries of our redemption during Holy Week and Easter.<\/p>\n
