Station 15

Artist: Angela Mayes '24

Despite the despair of His gruesome death, on the third day after His death, Jesus rose. This incredible demonstration of the power of God reveals how much He loves us and is present with us throughout all difficulties. As each station demonstrates, we face overwhelming and complicated challenges plaguing our world and causing much suffering. Oftentimes, the solutions are complex and require more than just individual action. Yet the Resurrection of Jesus provides us with the ultimate source of hope. Let this give us the strength to know in our hearts that we can work to overcome the struggles that afflict us by first trusting in Jesus and looking to him as the ultimate model of how to live. Despite all that may be wrong in the world, let us remember that there is a God who loves us that is good and will never abandon us. May we work towards social change on both systemic and interpersonal levels, continuing to educate and empower ourselves to not be silent in the face of injustice. We ask that God give us strength and hope as we work towards peace and take up the call to faith and call to action.
