THE THIRD STATION

 

 

Jesus Falls the First Time
   
V.  We adore you, O Christ, and we bless you.
R. Because by your holy cross you have redeemed the world
   
Leader: 

Consider the first fall of Jesus.  Loss of blood from the scourging and crowning with thorns had so weakened Him that He could hardly walk.  As the soldiers drove on, He fell several times under the weight of the heavy cross.
All:

My beloved Jesus, it is not the weight of the cross, but the weight of my sins that makes you suffer so much.  Because of this first fall, save me from falling into mortal sin.   I love you, Jesus, my love.  I am sorry that I have offended you.  Never let me be separated from you again.  Grant that I may always love you, and then do with me what you will.
