Cross


This is the painting of the 2nd station from St. Martin de Porres Church.  In the Gospel according to John, he writes "So they took Jesus; and carrying the cross by himself, he went out to what is called The Place of the Skull, which in Hebrew is called Golgotha." (19:16-17)  The other three Gospels just say that they led Jesus out to be crucified.  They mention the cross only when Simon is made to carry it, an incident that John doesn't have in his Gospel. 
Jesus embraces all the pain and suffering of the human race.
I love you, Jesus my love, let me love you always.
