Jesus Dies on the Cross

Lord Jesus Christ,
At the hour of your death the sun was darkened.
Ever anew you are being nailed to the Cross.
At this present hour of history we are living in God’s darkness.
Through your great sufferings and the wickedness of men,
the face of God, your face, seems obscured, unrecognizable.
And yet, on the Cross, you have revealed yourself.
Precisely by being the one who suffers and loves, you are exalted.
From the Cross on high you have triumphed.
Help us to recognize your face at this hour of darkness and tribulation.
Help us to believe in you and to follow you
in our hour of darkness and need.
Show yourself once more to the world at this hour.
Reveal to us your salvation.

Pope Benedict XVI (Cardinal Ratzinger)
Prayer at the Twelfth Station
Colosseum Stations of the Cross - Good Friday, 2005
