Fifth Sorrowful Mystery

There they crucified him
and with him two others,
one on either side
and Jesus in the middle

John 19, 18



Picture now Jesus' Mother. Her child is now nailed to a cross, and slowly dying.
As she was there for his first breath she must be there for his last.
While he is dying, He asks God to forgive everyone,
and then gives His Spirit up to Heaven>

Seeing His Mother, Jesus tells his beloved apostle, John, "behold your Mother"

Though they may kill Him, the love that filled His life would not die.
Even the hardened soldiers recognized the greatness in this pitiable man.
"Truly, He was God's son!" the centurion exclaimed.


Lord Jesus Christ,
who died for us,
give us a love
like yours.
