The Soul’s Journey – a Mystical Approach to the Stations of the Cross

Station XI
Jesus Dies on the Cross

From noon on, darkness came over the whole land until three in the afternoon. And about three o'clock Jesus cried with a loud voice, 'Eli, Eli, lema sabachthani?' that is, 'My God, my God, why have you forsaken me?' . . . Then Jesus cried again with a loud voice and breathed his last. At that moment the curtain of the temple was torn in two, from top to bottom. The earth shook, and the rocks were split. — Matthew 27

Jesus, at your death, the veil was torn, and heaven and earth became one. Fill my heart with your love and guide me, that I may help to break down the walls that divide us. May your spirit flow through me as a healing force in this troubled world.
