Station 14

Jesus, laid in the tomb

I wonder what it was like in that moment between the cross and the tomb. The uncomfortable stillness. The tense emptiness. I wonder what it was like to be there, to witness an empty cross and an empty tomb.

Lord, my own experiences and my own stories can hardly come to grasp these last moments. I find myself at a loss for words. Help me to just walk with the men and women who carried you. Just as you bore your cross, help me to bear this deafening silence in order to just be with you.
