Simon helps Jesus to carry his cross
We adore You, O Christ, and we bless You,
because by Your holy Cross, You have redeemed the world.
Jesus, the soldiers are becoming impatient. This is taking longer than they wanted it to. They are afraid you won't make it to the hill where you will be crucified. As you grow weaker, they grab a man out of the crowd and make him help carry your cross.
'Amen, I say to you, whatever you did for one of these least brothers of Mine, you did for Me.'(Matt 25:40)'Amen, amen, I say to you, no slave is greater than his master nor any messenger greater than the one who sent him.(John 13:16)
My beloved Jesus, I will not refuse the Cross, as the Cyrenian did; I accept it, I embrace it. I accept in particular the death You have destined for me; with all the pains that may accompany it; I unite it to Your death, I offer it to You. You have died for love of me; I will die for love of You, and to please You. Help me by Your grace. I love You, Jesus my love; 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.
