Jesus meets the women of Jerusalem
Great crowds trailed along behind, and many grief-stricken women. But Jesus turned and said to them, ‘Daughters of Jerusalem, weep not for me, but for yourselves and for your children.’
Thought
Is it our compassion that Jesus needs, or our conversion? How hard it is to see the troubles of others in the midsts of our own.
Prayer
All too often, Lord, a sea of self concern blinds me to the ocean of others’ sorrows. Open my eyes – and my heart to them.
