~*~FIFTEENTH STATION~*~
The Resurrection
V. We adore You, O Christ, and we praise You.
R. Because by Your Holy Cross You have redeemed the world.
As the black of the night gives way before the grey force of dawn, the miracle of New Life is recorded. In the brightness of the sun, awareness grips the mind--a tomb is empty and the God-Man again walks the face of His earth. The suffering, the hardship, the tortures of His life are now swallowed in the glory of His resurrection. Christ is risen--and the renewed hope of the world cries out: ALLELUIA!!!.
V. The Lord be with you.
R. And also with you.
Let us pray:
O God, if I would only more often take a step back and look at myself. I, by Baptism, am united to Christ. My life, by Your plan, is a reflection of His life. I, too, must undergo certain sufferings, certain hardships that make up my human life. But I also can overcome all, because that is my Christian heritage--to rise, to be renewed, to be made perfect, to cry out with all Your people, my own joyful ALLELUIA!
