Jesus falls a third time
We adore You, O Christ, and we bless You,
because by Your Holy Cross, You have redeemed the world.
Jesus, your journey has been long. You fall again, beneath your cross. You know your journey is coming to an end. You struggle and struggle. You get up and keep going.
'I am like water poured out; all My bones are racked. My heart has become like wax. My throat is dried up like baked clay, My tongue cleaves to My jaws; to the dust of death, you have brought Me down.' (Psalm 22:15-16). 'He humbled Himself, becoming obedient to death, even death on a cross.'(Phil 2:5-7)
My outraged Jesus, by the merits of the weakness You suffered in going to Calvary, give me strength sufficient to conquer all human respect, and all my wicked passions, which have led me to despise Your friendship. I love You, Jesus my love, 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.
