Station 3

Artist: Alethea Keamy '23

When Jesus falls for the first time, I think of how crosses, things we carry, can weigh us down and cause us to fall. I also think of the challenges our brothers and sisters with mental and physical disabilities have to face in their daily lives. Too often we view those with mental and physical disabilities as weak, and as a burden to our society. Just as Jesus got back up with all the strength and courage, he could summon, so, too, those with mental and physical disabilities get back up several times a day with all the strength and courage they can summon. How do you view those with mental and physical disabilities? Are they courageous and strong in your mind or are they weak and a burden?
