Fourth Station: Jesus Meets his Sorrowful Mother

What did you say to Your Mother at that moment? Were You able to console her? As I look around me, there are people who are hurting sometimes because of my foolishness, but at other times because of my attempts to follow the truth. I can see the pain on their faces, and I am helpless. These people love me and care for me, and yet, I bring grief into their lives. What can I say to those who experience grief because of me?

Dear Jesus, I need to do more than to simply go through the motions. I have to be more aware of my actions and their consequences. I have to learn that I am not alone and that other people are affected by what I say and do.
