“After mocking him, the soldiers led Jesus out to crucify him. They compelled a passer-by, to carry his cross; it was Simon of Cyrene.” — Mark 15:20-21
- Put yourself in this scene: use your imagination to see and hear Jesus, the soldiers, and Simon. Use your heart to imagine Jesus’ vulnerability and Simon’s forced help for him.
- When have you experienced vulnerability?
Who have been the Simon of Cyrene’s in your life? - Ask yourself: Where in my world is there vulnerability?
How am I to be compassionate? - Pray for our ministry partners, Catherine McAuley Center, Helping Hands, Mission of Hope, Riders Club, Wellington Heights Community Church, and all those who help the most vulnerable in our society.
