First Station: Jesus is Condemned to Death

Why did they do such a thing to You? What did You do to deserve such a punishment? But as I look around today, we have similar situations. Minorities are oppressed—denied their freedom and human rights. Men and women are trafficked across international borders and enslaved for personal gains. There are people hungry and those who have too much. The Pilates of today are still condemning Jesus present in each one of us.

Dear Jesus, let me see beyond the injustice and wrongdoings of society. Let not bitterness and anger take over my heart. May I be counted among those committed and courageous enough to uphold the truth.
