The Diocese of Raleigh acquired these stations in 2013 from Saint Francis of Assisi Church in Philadelphia. The stations are approximately 80 years old and stand more than five feet high with rounded tops and approximately three feet wide with multi-colored depictions painted on a gold field. At the time of acquisition, they were in relatively good condition and luckily little restoration. They are unique in their portrayal of the passion and death of Jesus and can be located throughout the north and south loggias.
IV. Jesus Meets His MotherWe adore you, O Christ, and we bless you. Because by your holy cross you have redeemed the world. Now Peter was sitting outside in the courtyard. One of the maids came over to him and said, “You too were with Jesus the Galilean.” But he denied it in front of everyone, saying, “I do not know what you are talking about!” As he went out to the gate, another girl saw him and said to those who were there, “This man was with Jesus the Nazorean.” Again he denied it with an oath, “I do not know the man!” A little later the bystanders came over and said to Peter, “Surely you too are one of them; even your speech gives you away.” At that he began to curse and to swear, “I do not know the man.” And immediately a cock crowed. Then Peter remembered the word that Jesus had spoken “Before the cock crows you will deny me three times.” He went out and began to weep bitterly. Matthew 26: 69-75 Lord, grant us the gift of honesty that we may not fear to speak the truth even when difficult. Lord Jesus, help us walk in your steps. DonorThis item is available to gift.
