"The Way of the Cross" X11

The Twelfth Station of the Cross



JESUS DIES ON THE CROSS

It was now about noon and darkness
came over the whole land
until three in the afternoon
 because of an eclipse of the sun.
Then the veil of the temple was torn down the middle.
Jesus cried out in a loud voice,
"Father, into your hands I commend my spirit";
and when he had said this he breathed his last.
The centurion who witnessed what had happened
glorified God and said,
"This man was innocent beyond doubt."
Luke 23:44-47
****

And bowing his head,
Jesus dies the way he lived...
with total trust in the Father's love.
