Stations of the Cross - 10 Jesus is Stripped of His Clothes

ARTIST: Br. Mickey McGrath, OSFS

ARTWORK NARRATIVE:

We adore you, O Christ, and we bless you.

Because by your holy cross you have redeemed the world.

I pause to watch the stripping. I contemplate all that is taken from him. And, how he faces his death with such nakedness.

I reflect upon how much of himself he has revealed to me. Holding nothing back.

As I look at him in his humility, I know that this is for me, and I share my feelings of gratitude.
