Way of the Cross with the Carmelite Saints

Station X

JESUS IS STRIPPED OF HIS GARMENTS

They divided His clothes among them … (Mt. 27:35)

The stripping needed for this transforming union is effected in the understanding by faith, in the memory by hope, and in the will by love …. This is the way that leads to the high mountain of perfection in which one can walk only if not dragged down by any burden. It is the way of the Cross our Lord showed to His disciples …. (The Science of the Cross, by Edith Stein - St. Teresa Benedicta of the Cross)
