Submitted by:

Submitted to: Sir John Paul Cabrera The Paschal Mystery of our Lord Jesus Christ’s main subject is the Passion/Suffering, Death and Ressurection. The Passion includes the physical, spiritual and mental suffering of Jesus in the hours before and including his trial and execution by cruxification. One that comes with my mind is the “Stations of the Cross”. There are lots of events happen in the passion of Christ including the betrayal of Judas Iscariot by exchanging Jesus to the hands of Sanhedrin priests for a payment of thirty silver coins. When I hear the name Judas/Judas Iscariot, the first word that comes in my mind is “kiss” or “betrayal”. We all know how Jesus’s apostles flee while they arrest Jesus. Peter, who is also one of Jesus’ apostles, three times denies knowing Jesus but remembers Jesus’prediction when the cock crows. These events are also in the film Passion of the Christ. Here comes the First Station: Jesus is condemned to Death. We know that Jesus was judge by Pilate, the Roman Governor that time, decides Jesus was innocent, but the people that time were sinful, that they demand Jesus’death leaving Pilate to give them the choice of saving Barabbas or saving Jesus. This is the saddest part where the crowd chose Barabbas and send Jesus out to be crucified. Jesus is lashed and crowned with thorns. This shows Injustices (Pilate’s judgement) and how Jesus was humiliated that make me sad when I’m imagining it. Then the Second Station: Jesus carries his Cross; He accepts the entire burden upon his torn and bleeding body that makes me questions why he stay silent. Each movement of the cross drove the thorns deeper into his head. Then the Third Station: Jesus falls the first time, How he fell beneath the cross’ weight, makes me know that he shows me that he understands when I fall. He was not afraid to fall,
