Let us invite Jesus to heal our wounds and surrender all painful moments of our lives to Him.) When Jesus was stripped of his clothes, he was ashamed and hurt, but he bore everything for our sins. It may be a moment when somebody insulted you or hurt you deeply. It may have been a moment of great embarrassment or great shame. (Surrender all those moments in your life which you wish had never ever happened and want to forget forever. Let us become closer to God during this Lenten Season, through Fasting, Prayer and Almsgiving.) Let us make our hearts strong and pray to Jesus for strength to fight the temptations of Satan. Let our hearts reach out to the Sinners and the people who yet don’t know Jesus.) As Jesus comforted the women of Jerusalem, let us have mercy on those in distress. Let us open our eyes to the people suffering in this world. (Let us be compassionate and merciful to the people around us. Let us strive not to keep committing the same sins over and over.)
Let us surrender our hearts to the Lord and be truly repentant and sorry. We go back to our sinful lives, falling into even more greater sins. We again fall into temptation and then forget everything pretty soon. (We often feel sorry and repent for our sins. Let us pray for them, for all the times they comforted us and brought back faith to our lives. (Let us remember our family members and friends who were there with us, to comfort us during the most painful times of our life. Let us thank Jesus for all those people who gave us hope.) It may have been your spouse, your parents, your children, your friends or even a stranger. (When we were burdened with our cross, when the cross was too heavy for us to carry, Jesus would have sent someone into our lives to help us carry the cross. Simon of Cyrene helps Jesus to carry his cross. Let Mother Mary be our comfort and strength during this earthly journey.) Mother Mary can intercede for us and obtain all graces we need in our lives. Let us believe in our Heavenly Mother’s powerful intercession. (Let us remember our Heavenly Mother who gave birth to Jesus Christ and raised him on this earth. Let us repent and ask Jesus for his forgiveness.) We fell into sin and moved away from God. (Let us remember the first time when we gave into temptation and sinned.
As Jesus bore the cross with patience, let us be patient with our cross and look forward towards greater glory.) (Let us remember the times when he had to carry our cross in the form of sin, sickness, pain, worry, despair, loneliness, guilt, loss of loved ones, financial problems and so on. Let us give all those painful moments over to the Lord.) We may be unwanted and lonely in this world. (We may have been condemned by others for no fault of ours. Because by Thy holy Cross, Thou hast redeemed the world. We adore Thee, O Christ, and we bless Thee. The “Way of the Cross” will help us to relate our lives with the Sufferings of Jesus. All our burdens, our sorrows, the crosses we carry and more importantly our sins. As we meditate on each station for a while, let us surrender our lives to Jesus. As we read each station, let us picturize Jesus and his agony in our minds. These stations will help us to remember Jesus and his passion during the Lenten Season, amidst our busy schedules.

We can meditate on these stations during our free time, wherever we are – be it office, school or home. Here is a short version of “Stations of the Cross”. The celebration of the Stations of the Cross is common on the Fridays of Lent, especially Good Friday. The Stations of the Cross are also know as “Way of Sorrows” or simply “The Way”. Lent is here and why not start this Lenten Season with Stations of the Cross (Kurishinte Vazhi).
