Seventh Station: Jesus takes up the cross




"And He, bearing his cross, went forth"
John

"Crucify him!" This is the answer of the people that He has loved.
In a completely dislocated, damaged nature, with an unred, lightless sun, Christ is going his way of suffering. He embraces his cross, staggering with exhaustion, all alone. He goes his way, right in the front, to Golgotha, to death and at the same time to resurrection and glorification.
