The Seventh Station: Jesus Falls the Second Time

These outdoor, tile-mosaic Stations of the Cross were designed
by our own Artisan Sisters of the Monastery.
Though he was harshly treated, he submitted and opened not his mouth; like a lamb led to the slaughter or a sheep before the shearers, he was silent and uttered no cry. When he was cut off from the land of the living, and smitten for the sin of his people, a grave was a ssigned him among the wicked and a burial place with evildoers, though he had done no wrong nor spoken any falsehood.  Isaiah 53: 7-9

Jesus said, "So that you may know that the Son of Man has authority on earth to forgive sins"--he said to one who was paralyzed--"I say to you, stand up and take your bed and go to your home."  Luke 5: 24
