Jesus falls the first time STATION III

STATION III



Jesus falls the first time

We adore You, O Christ, and we bless You,
because by Your holy Cross, You have redeemed the world.

Jesus, the cross you have been carrying is very heavy. You are becoming weak and almost ready to faint, and you fall down. Nobody seems to want to help you.

'He has broken my teeth with gravel, pressed my face in the dust; My soul is deprived of peace, I have forgotten what happiness is.'(Lamen 3:16-17)'We had all gone astray like sheep, each following his own way; But the Lord laid upon Him the guilt of us all.'(Isaiah 53:6)

'Behold, the Lamb of God, who takes away the sins of the world!'(John 1:29)

My beloved Jesus, it is not the weight of the Cross, but my sins, which have made You suffer so much pain. By the merits of this first fall, deliver me from the misfortune of falling into mortal sin. I love You, O my Jesus, with my whole heart; I repent of having offended You. Never permit me to offend You again. Grant that I may love You always; and then do with me what You will.

Our Father... Hail Mary... Glory Be...

Lord Jesus, crucified. Have mercy on us.
