Carrying his Cross for the salvation of the world, the Lord reveals two key insights for Christians: Sacrifice Support SACRIFICE - giving up something for the sake of something more important - becomes self evident as the Lord offers his life as a perfect offering. &amp;nbsp;Innocent and without sin, he takes our place and helps us to recognize our own sacrifices as a participation in his Cross. SUPPORT&amp;nbsp;appears when we look at two familiar figures in the Stations of the Cross - Simon of Cyrene and Veronica. &amp;nbsp;We read about Simon in the Scriptures, and Veronica has been a part of the tradition of this devotional prayer for centuries; both of them show that even the smallest of actions proclaims the value of human life in our relationships with one another. &amp;nbsp;Running toward suffering and sacrifice, we can (like a Firefighter) be agents in great and small ways for compassion, mercy, and tenderness.
