Station 5

Artist: Becca Fisher '24

Simon of Cyrene helps Jesus to carry his cross when he struggles to bear its weight. Just as Simon helped Jesus in his time of need, so too are we called to help others when they are struggling to survive under the weight of crushing burdens. From refugees fleeing persecution to immigrants looking for a better future to the poor trying to support themselves and their families, it is our responsibility to be their Simon of Cyrene. Activists, lawyers, volunteers, and countless others work to bring an end to the suffering of so many. Let us pray for them, that they may succeed in their task and help to ease the pain of our world.
