A great number of the people followed him, and among them were women who were beating their breasts and wailing for him.

But Jesus turned to them and said, “Daughters of Jerusalem, do not weep for me, but weep for yourselves and for your children. For the days are surely coming when they will say, ‘Blessed are the barren, and the wombs that never bore, and the breasts that never nursed.’ Then they will begin to say to the mountains, ‘Fall on us’; and to the hills, ‘Cover us.’ For if they do this when the wood is green, what will happen when it is dry?”

Luke 23:27-31

MEDITATION PROMPT

A group of women is huddled and weeping as they see the prisoner approach.

They extend their arms out towards him but are restrained.

The prisoner says something to them and they wipe off their tears and straighten up; comforted, even.

What in heaven's name could he have said?
