STATION 9: Jesus Falls the Third Time
V. We adore You, O Christ, and we praise You (genuflect)
R. Because, by Your holy Cross, You have redeemed the world.
Priest or Leader: Consider how Jesus Christ fell for the third time. He was extremely weak and the cruelty of His executioners was excessive; they tried to hasten His steps though He hardly had strength to move.
- moment of silence -
All: My Jesus, by the weakness You suffered in going to Calvary, give me enough strength to overcome all human respect and all my evil passions which have led me to despise Your friendship. I love You, Jesus my Love, with all my heart; I am sorry for ever having offended You. Never permit me to offend You again. Grant that I may love You always; and then do with me as You will.
Make me feel as thou hast felt;
Make my soul, to glow and melt,
With the love of Christ, my Lord.
