Jesus Cosoles the Women of Jerusalem

A great crowd of people followed him, including women who beat their breasts and lamented over him.

My Jesus, I am amazed at Your compassion for others in Your time of need. When I suffer, I have a tendency to think only of myself. But You forgot Yourself when You saw the holy women weeping over Your torments. You consoled them and taught them to look deeper into Your Passion. You wanted them to understand that the real evil to cry over was the rejection You suffered and the sins of the world.
