"We came here to begin with Jesus the Way of the Cross. To begin the journey that will lead him to Golgotha, to the moment of his death on the cross and of his resurrection." These were the words of Ramzi Sidawi, Bursar of the Custody of the Holy Land, in his homily at the chapel of the condemnation, during the Lenten pilgrimages. In this fourth station, the friars of the custody celebrated the Eucharist in the place that remembers the condemnation of Christ. The chapel, built in 1903 on the west side of the courtyard of the convent of the Flagellation, is also called Litostroto, a word of Greek origin meaning stone floor. The readings referring to the holy place narrated the moments in which Pilate washed his hands before the crowd that was asking for the death of Jesus. "Of the crowd following Jesus before he entered his passion - said Brother Ramzi -, the one who sought Jesus for his beautiful words, the one who sought Jesus to receive some healing, just to touch him, to obtain a grace... there is no one left. But He abandons Himself to God and to the hands of God, certain that this will not be God’s last word for Him. In this last moment of the Lenten journey, before the Holy Week, the faithful and pilgrims joined the Franciscan community to pray. The last words of his homily were: "How to follow Jesus on the way of the cross? He wants us to follow him on the way of the cross as he lived it, because if in the eyes of men it seemed a total failure, in the heart of Jesus it is a trusting abandonment to the hands of the Father. Let us ask the Lord to make us live this time well and to come out stronger in faith, so that we may proclaim him king of Love, justice and peace.
