Station Four - He Meets His Mother

In this episode of the Stations of the Cross on Shalom World Podcasts, we reflect on the Fourth Station of the Cross, where Jesus meets His Sorrowful Mother. From the prophecy of Simeon to the moments of silent exchange between mother and son, we witness the profound sorrow endured by Mary, the Blessed Mother, as she accompanies Jesus on His journey to Calvary. Mary chose to remain by Jesus' side, embodying the essence of blessedness not as freedom from pain, but as the willingness to share in the suffering of Christ. This Lenten season, let us reflect on our own moments of faltering faith and fear of suffering, seeking forgiveness and grace to follow Christ with unwavering courage. Let us also turn to Mary, our Mother and intercessor, offering our burdens and seeking her maternal care as we journey towards the Most Holy Sacred Heart of Jesus through her Immaculate Heart.
