Station VIII
Jesus Meets the Women of
Jerusalem
A great number of the people
followed him, and among them were women who were beating
their breasts and wailing for him. But Jesus turned to them
and said, 'Daughters of Jerusalem, do not weep for me, but
weep for yourselves and for your children. For the days are
surely coming when they will say, "Blessed are the barren,
and the wombs that never bore, and the breasts that never
nursed." Then they will begin to say to the mountains, "Fall
on us"; and to the hills, "Cover us." For if they do this
when the wood is green, what will happen when it is dry?'

Mark 15
Divine Comforter, do not let me
turn away from pain and sorrow. Help me to be a witness to
your love and a comfort to others who suffer. |
