Welcome to Through the Thorns.

2

:

Today's rosary meditation will be the

sorrowful mystery of Jesus's caring

3

:

of the cross in the name of the father

and of the son and of the Holy spirit.

4

:

Amen.

5

:

Take a deep breath and

center yourself in prayer.

6

:

Picture a dusty road

stretching before you.

7

:

The sun beats down and the air is thick

with heat and the noise of the crowd.

8

:

You are pressed up shoulder to

shoulder against all the people,

9

:

against the people that surround you.

10

:

But you work your way through the

crowd, trying to get a view of Jesus.

11

:

You reach the front of the crowd and you

see Jesus, bruised and bloodied, carrying

12

:

the heavy wooden cross on his shoulders.

13

:

You watch as he stumbles under

the weight of the cross, the

14

:

wood digging into his torn flesh.

15

:

Each step is labored and you can see the

sweat and blood dripping from his face.

16

:

You notice a group of women

who are walking alongside him.

17

:

You move closer to the group

and you really begin to feel

18

:

the weight of the moment.

19

:

You hear the crowd shouting behind

you, some mocking, others crying,

20

:

and suddenly Jesus falls to the ground.

21

:

The cross crushes him

and he struggles to rise.

22

:

His eyes lift and they meet yours.

23

:

He looks at you.

24

:

With such love and such determination,

25

:

you ask the woman next to you, if

you can use a handkerchief or a

26

:

cloth and she hands one to you.

27

:

So you approach Jesus and dab his face,

cleaning it of the sweat and the blood.

28

:

What do you feel as you see him like this?

29

:

What do you want to say to him?

30

:

Simon of Cyrene is pulled from the

crowd to help Jesus carry the cross.

31

:

Imagine standing beside them

32

:

he comes to help the Lord, lifts up the

cross, and they begin walking again.

33

:

You walk beside them.

34

:

What is it like to be this

close to him in his suffering?

35

:

Let us pray.

36

:

I believe in God, the Father Almighty,

creator of heaven and earth, and

37

:

in Jesus Christ, his only Son, our

Lord, who was conceived by the Holy

38

:

Spirit, born of the Virgin Mary,

suffered under Pontius Pilate, was

39

:

crucified, died, and was buried.

40

:

He descended into hell, and on the

third day, he rose again from the dead.

41

:

He ascended into heaven and

is seated at the right hand

42

:

of God, the Father Almighty.

43

:

From there he will come to

judge the living and the dead.

44

:

I believe in the Holy Spirit, the Holy

Catholic Church, the communion of saints,

45

:

the forgiveness of sins, the resurrection

of the body, and life everlasting.

46

:

Amen.

47

:

For the intentions of our Holy Father,

Pope Francis, and all the priests.

48

:

Our Father, who art in

heaven, hallowed be thy name.

49

:

Thy kingdom come, thy will be

done, on earth as it is in heaven.

50

:

Give us this day our daily bread,

and forgive us our trespasses, as we

51

:

forgive those who trespass against us.

52

:

And lead us not into temptation,

but deliver us from evil.

53

Amen.

For an increase in faith, hope, and love.
