Tenth Station: Jesus is Stripped of His Garments
Do I ever think of You when I deprive others of their dignity, self-respect, self-worth? I am so ready to take advantage of the vulnerability of others and to expose their nakedness for my own pleasure. I do not stop to consider the embarrassment I may cause, just as long as I can have what I want for myself. At times I am not even concerned with the feelings of others. I think of myself as coming first. When I do this I am harming others instead of emptying myself of my own pride, greed, and selfishness.
Dear Jesus, whom would I see if I looked into the mirror? How could I have disfigured Your image so much? Would anyone recognize You in me? Help me to see You in others. Help me to grow in such a way that they can see You in me as well.
