He struggles and rises, despite his pain to go onwards towards His death. 4 JESUS MEETS HIS MOTHER MEDITATION: Jesus, on his way to Calvary, sees His Mother. Both are stricken with grief. Her love for Him is surpassed only by His love and concern for her. 5 SIMON HELPS CARRY THE CROSS MEDITATION: Jesus is growing weaker.

His executioners violently stretch His limbs and fasten them with crude nails to the wood. 12 JESUS DIES UPON CROSS MEDITATION: Jesus is crucified. After three hours of agony and pain.
