Station Fourteen - His Body is Laid in a Tomb

Today, we journey through the fourteenth Station of the Cross, where we contemplate the solemn act of the Burial of Jesus. In this pivotal moment, as recounted in Matthew 27:57-61, we encounter Joseph of Arimathe′a, a courageous disciple of Jesus. With unwavering faith, Joseph steps forward to request the body of Jesus from Pilate, ultimately taking it upon himself to ensure Jesus receives a proper burial.

Reflecting on this act of burial, we are reminded of the humble circumstances surrounding Jesus' life and death. As we meditate on the love demonstrated through Jesus' sacrifice on the Cross, let us draw nearer to the Holy Trinity, seeking to emulate Christ's example in our daily lives. With hearts filled with adoration and gratitude, let us journey onwards, for by His Cross, He has redeemed the world.
