Station 4— Jesus Sees His Mother
This tile surface is more broken in this tile due to some unavoidable firing variations. This station cuts deeply for me and the surface brokenness is appropriate.
Station 4 — Jesus Sees His Mother
In Her Image….
He looked down and for a moment
the agony that shook his body split open–
it was her face that broke the darkness
and spoke to him the beauty of his life.
How he cradled in her womb
as the donkey bounced to Bethlehem,
then the cradle of her arms
as they took the road to Egypt– to safety–
of the many ways she’d loved him
and let him go in God.
Now she stood with her friends and his
refusing the safety of not seeing, and he loved her–
so many memories of goodness
lit the space between them–
“John”, he said before the agony closed in again,
“be to her, her son.”
