Station #1Video

Most comments I've received concerning my new videos were very deep. I have some cool listeners. Others were disturbed by my graphic pictures. Scripture says in Is 53:14-15, “He’ll startle the nations, so marred is his look beyond that of Man.” I sing this word for word and the video shows the Sacred Heart morphing into a “mummified (I see it as more of a marring) eerie image.” Some were startled. But, the bloodiness of some short scenes illustrate more accurately the depth of Jesus' love. You’ve heard “Love is patient, love is kind…” well, the definition of patient, if you look it up, means “suffering without complaining.” True and great love suffers a lot – to your bones kind of suffering. Even today’s world is not sterile. If we meditate on Jesus’ death without the horror and blood, then we are not meditating on the real Jesus and have a poor grasp of real life and how to live it - suffering. And how can we imitate what we don’t know? He gave us an example. Most people choose to refuse the cross, but we should get in there. Get dirty. A greater crown awaits you. Also, the songs are scripture, so we get more out of it the more we hear it. We should spread the videos around. Invite many to a closer walk with Jesus. Important – if the children of Fatima were shown hell at the ages of 6,7 and 9, then ours certainly should know about the sufferings of their Savior. That’s how saints are made – by true love.

The first video is more jolting than the rest of the 14 will be. It’s only natural, the condemnation sets the scene and was jolting then. The rest of the stations are carrying out the orders. Many scenes will be of the sufferings and sins of today, how they relate to the Passion as well as our own lives, for meditation without resolutions is mostly fruitless. Jesus says, “Learn of me…” Let’s really dig in and study and follow… God bless you. D
