The First Station

Jesus is Condemned to Death

Mary…

Your Son, who was to be judge of all the living and the dead, stood before a Roman judge and received an unjust sentence. Though you knew He was the "suffering servant" prophesied by Isaiah, did you wonder why He had to suffer this humiliation and in this way?

As widows, we sometimes question God's providence - and His love for us.

Why did that drunk driver who killed my husband survive? Why did God permit that doctor's mistake?

Was there anything done - or left undone - that hastened the day or the hour?

Why did my husband have to die instead of me?

Holy Mary, pray for us … now and in the hour we cry for justice.

Jesus, You are the Lord of my life. I know that You permit only those things from which You can bring good. Help me to trust that even the day and the hour of my husband's death was known to You, and that he is enfolded in Your Sacred Heart now as then.

FOR PONDERING

What aspects of God's permissive will do I still find it difficult to accept in my grief?
