When I did this tile I wondered why we had to have this as part of the process. Of course the persons doing the stations originally had their reasons. My wondering tinged with an impatience to finish the project, reminded me that even today the rituals of death and dying need to be completed. Death slows down life momentarily. Slowing down, taking time for life and reflection on it, is good in itself.
Station 13
I joined this walk at its beginning and now the end has come, Jesus. The dust clings to your body now because you did not hide from what you knew of God, and you spoke it clearly. I claim your journey as my own.
