| Via Crucis Cross youth + CHAVES FRANCISCO CERRO Bishop of Coria-Cáceres 1 ª STATION JESUS \u200b\u200bIS CONDEMNED TO DEATH So many young people sentenced to death, many who live dramatically tucked into the drug life in the hospital with incurable diseases, unemployment. Sentenced to death in the target of all crises, wrapped in terrible depression and sometimes convinced that no bid for them. They are young people who love Christ and his Church. Lord, help us to live as young people who convey hope in a world that is without outflows and tremendous contradictions. That the cross of Christ is for us all strength to walk alongside the poor and we turn lights on instead of staying in the huge complaint of those who curse the darkness, but does nothing out of it. 2 nd Station: Jesus carries the Cross This cross is the cross of each and every one of us Who has not ever had the cross of humiliation, misunderstanding, moral or physical pain? Who has not had in his heart toas the difficulties in the way of life? Jesus carries his cross, we too must carry our cross each day heavy fighting with all forces to make the world more just and fraternal. Lord Jesus crucified, we ask that you help us. Teach us and give us strength to bear our cross, a wooden cross, a cross dull, a cross sometimes unbearable but you, Lord, can lead to love. 3 º STATION: JESUS \u200b\u200bFALLS THE FIRST TIME Never let your falls will become incurable wounds. Only if you stand looking at Christ who also fell can live joyfully and happily embracing the infinite mercy of the Lord. Ghost was not the one who never fell, but always stood. The first fall of Jesus reminds us of so many young people falling into drugs, alcohol, vice, violence, in every way that prevents the young person is happy. Lord fallen to the Cross, help us to bear the crosses of life with the conviction that they are injured Resurrection, for You, Lord, have overcome and help us live stop helping all the fallen to rise again to the Home of Your Heart. 4 th STATION: JESUS \u200b\u200bMEETS HIS MOTHER Many young people, even at very early ages experience disappointment of many loves. Often only the love of the mother is standing. Perhaps, as we are reminded this season, because they are able to wait and be close to "the harsh and thin." Mary with her Son to the cross. Is there supporting and helping when sometimes the only way we can help is the presence on the streets of bitterness. our Lady of Solitude, of Bitterness, de la Vera Cruz, of Sorrows, accompanies our steps, tired, you always find the way of life and if we can not more back to us your eyes of mercy and show us the way of acceptance. 5 th Station: Simon of Cyrene helps Jesus Carry the Cross cirineos all need to help us carry the cross. Young people need people to stand with you, to share their doubts and failures, and above all to help them bear with patience the cross of life. Young people need more than ever be accompanied by catechists, youth ministers, family, personal guidance, cirineos that being at his side to help them bear the heavy cross daily. Lord, send us cirineos help us, vocations of men and women to be around young people, sometimes in the worst moments of his life. Thank you Lord for all cirineos you put in my way and they taught me and helped to live life from God's love and service of others. 6 th Station: Veronica wipes the face of Jesus This woman, like many young, was there. He looked to Christ and touched his heart. Was not in mourning, but failed to act, the life given. The Lord wanted her face is reflected on the canvas. The Lord has given us, young, much more than Veronica, gave us the Eucharist, His Body and Blood, and many times not we pay attention, do not we go to Mass, not left his presence in our heart. Lord, we thank so many brave veronicas clean the face of the "other Christs" who are our brothers. We ask that arise many speedwell, to be able to help our earth, for the world to implant the civilization of love 7 th STATION: JESUS \u200b\u200bFALLS THE SECOND TIME is true that Young people are sometimes fragile. For example, being the target of all advertising claims to be easy prey to consumerism. Sometimes the falls are so many young people who use commercial. The Church loves you as you are. Do not be an instrument. Discovering Christ's face dropped and all the fallen and crucified in history call to serve on his knees, sowing the ways to live life with hope. Lord Jesus, give us strength to help all people discover and live in the dignity of the sons of God, and to share in the common table of humanity, the goods belong to everyone equally . 8 th Station: Jesus meets the pious women Being young does not mean going to be sunk and sometimes dark nights. We need to find on the cross the face of Christ crucified us teaches them to discover the suffering of so many of our brothers who walk beside us. The world of young people today are looking for easy comfort. Sometimes at the expense of truth. The Church from the reality and truth offers the true comfort that our thirsty soul and opens us to hope in daily life to see the face of which the heart is always open. Lord Jesus, we want you with your love, comfort us in the way of life and help us show available to many young people who have lost the north, the direction of their lives. 9 th STATION: JESUS \u200b\u200bFALLS THIRD TIME The fragility of young people is also sometimes a source of humility and hope. St. Paul said that everything was in the One who comforts us and said something brighter, though mysterious, "because when I am weak then I am strong." What did he mean? That with Christ all that we mean that our fragile living with faith can become a source of hope. Because it is true that Christ and I equals overwhelming majority. Just get up and trust in Him who never abandons us. Lord Jesus we ask you to enlighten us and help us get up when we can but for Thou art the conqueror of sin, sorrow and death. 10 th STATION: JESUS \u200b\u200bIS STRIPPED OF HIS GARMENTS many young people deprived of work, the most basic dignity, to see their rights trampled, so much ideological manipulation ! Jesus is stripped of their clothes and have nothing, only his love for the Father and all his truth and proclaimed to the four winds. We gave everything. It has been stripped to His Mother, we will deliver it as our Mother. In his heart there is only a desire to "love until the end." He lives now as the green wood in winter, with the certain hope that spring is not far. Lord despójanos of everything that separates us from you, do not let it fall into the temptation of despair, to settle the complaint. Despójanos of sin that separates us from Thee, the immense sadness of a life lived without God. 11 th STATION: JESUS \u200b\u200bIS CRUCIFIED tense as if the strings of a guitar, and have nailed Jesus. As a flag stuck on top of a hill. As a "sign of contradiction." As one who has given everything. Jesus is crucified is the best declaration of love of the Father to every human heart. When you think nobody loves you, or you receive, or have you declared your love, your prayer contemplation of the Crucified always hope will return. Lord Jesus, crucified at all shrines in the world, next to all young people living sewn and crucified to drugs, consumerism, unemployment to precarious uncertain future, in all possible crosses, help us to live suffering as a door of hope that is You. 12 th STATION: JESUS \u200b\u200bDIES ON THE CROSS He died with his eyes closed to not see our reality, and his eyes are too clean to stay only in our miseries. He died with open arms as the Father in the parable of the Prodigal Son (Luke 15) to embrace all who return shattered the life. He died with his head forward because he hears one by one all our difficulties. He died with his feet nailed to deliver his love through the Church, as the love of a mother, always waiting for night and day to return home. He died with an open heart and to tell us his side doors are always open and has no secrets from us. Lord Jesus died for our sins and transgressions, help us to understand that if we move away from you is not going well at all and it's too dangerous to build a society without you. 13 th STATION: JESUS \u200b\u200bIS PLACED IN ARMS OF HIS MOTHER There were the arms of his mother, the welcoming arms of the Church from their poverty and delivering Jesus to mankind. We think many mothers with their children in their arms killed by hatred, war, terrorism, drugs. Mary and the Church welcomes into its ranks more suffering humanity. Silently weeps with those who weep. Offers some hope that "if we died with Him, live with him." Lady with the Cross, Mother of every man, woman remains faithful to the end, do not you flinch, help us to be young Christians who live in the Heart of Christ and the interior lives of so many dramas as our Earth. 14 th STATION: JESUS \u200b\u200bIS PLACED IN A NEW TOMB What Jesus said, "unless a grain of wheat falls to earth and dies, it bears fruit. " We must "learn to wait" as Brother Rafael Arnaiz said. We to live with the conviction that behind the night comes the dawn gallop. You must know that all our crosses are injured resurrection. It is necessary that we Christians are carriers of a certain hope that is based, of course, in the way of the cross, but the destination is not just life, eternal life. Lord Jesus, teach us to see nearby spring but sometimes we see embedded in the harsh winter and help us to be able to spread the world of the certain hope that Thou art our Saviour and Redeemer . 15 th STATION: JESUS \u200b\u200bIS RISEN has spent the night. Now comes the dawn. Everything could have been the biggest failure in history. They wanted some. But suddenly, when the morning they saw him. He was weaving spring, coming to meet us for all the world Emmaus. He was saying over and over living. From that Sunday every time we celebrate the Eucharist Jesus is present and helps us in the way of life. Risen Christ, teach us to live forever in the immense joy he knows that "nothing and no one can remove" Your Love Resurrection. |
