THE FOURTH STATION*
On blood-stained cobblestones
she stands,
holding out to Him
her helpless hands.
Her tear-filled eyes are dark
with all the woe
of mothers who have watched
their children go
Down bitter paths of pain
to die -
the while she, anguished, stands
all helpless by.
Sister M Consilia PHJC

*The Fourth Station of the Cross: Jesus meets His afflicted mother.
