Biblical Way of the Cross: Jesus is sentenced to death

JESUS ​​IS CONDEMNED TO DEATH

My Lord you find yourself in front of your accusers ready to be sentenced to death. You are silent know your mission the task that the Father has given you. My Lord you must be condemned to save the world but I want to contemplate your person in this station of the Via Crucis. You now teach us obedience. You knew that your job was to be sentenced but you did not oppose resistance, you were obedient. Now my Lord let us men initiate your obedience. Let us be like you. Let us when we receive the condemnations of life remain silent like you and only try to fulfill the Father's will and accept his trials his crosses. My dear Jesus, I will stop for a minute now and reflect on this moment, on your condemnation, on your person. I want to be like you. I want to remain silent before life. As you looked at your accusers and were silent I now want to look in the mirror and be silent. I want to be silent about my life of sin, of little faith, of absence of charity, meaningless. You are the meaning of life Jesus. You teach us the meaning of life in this station when you are sentenced to death. You are silent, you are obedient, you have faith in the Father, you go forward in your mission, you know that this path you follow leads to salvation. My dear Jesus, let us like you also imitate you and love like you the path of salvation and not that of pleasure. Let us, like you, put faith in the Father first and keep silent in the face of life's condemnations.
