FOURTEENTH STATION
JESUS IS PLACED IN THE TOMB

LEADER: We adore you, O Christ,
and we praise you.

ALL: Because by your holy cross
you have redeemed the world.

LOOKING AT JESUS

Jesus, you are buried in a new tomb. You are locked in by a big stone. And as you cried and called out to Lazarus in his tomb, your Father cries out to you, “Jesus, come forth.”

And the echo of the Father is heard throughout the halls and hills of eternity. “Amen! Come Lord Jesus!” Resurrection! Alleluia! Jesus returns to the Father in glory. There is a Heavenly Palm Sunday parade down through the streets of eternity! Resurrection and Ascension together. The Son returns to the Father. Bring out the finest robes and put them on him, “because this son of mine who was dead has come back to life.” Let the banquet, the music and the dancing begin. “And the Father will dance.” Bring in your older brother. Go out to highways and byways and invite all your sisters and brothers into the eternal banquet.

Resurrection! Alleluia! Jesus is given the name, “Lord,” a name above every other name. Jesus is Lord! The Son, who emptied himself, is once again filled with the fullness of God. Alleluia! “Amen! Come Lord Jesus.”

14th STATION PRAYER – RESURRECTION

Lord, don’t let me stop at Good Friday. Help me to move toward Easter.

Call to me, as you called to Lazarus when he was in the grave, “Come forth.”

Lord, stand on the shore of my life, especially when I have the feeling that I have worked the whole night long and caught nothing.

Invite me to the banquet of life. Amen! Let me to come to you, Lord Jesus.
