Station IX — Jesus Falls the Third Time

V). Adoramus te, Christe, et benedicimus tibi.

R). Quia per sanctam crucem tuam redemisti mundum.

Consider the third fall of Jesus Christ. Too great was the weakness of Jesus, and too great was the cruelty of his executioners, who wanted him to hasten his steps when he barely had the strength to walk. — My mistreated Jesus, by the merit of the weakness you chose to suffer on the journey to Calvary, give me sufficient strength to overcome all human respect and all my wicked appetites, which in the past have led me to despise your friendship. I love you, Jesus my love, with all my heart. I repent of having offended you. Do not permit me to offend you again. Grant that I may always love you, and then do with me as you will.

Our Father, Hail Mary, Glory Be. Dear Jesus, etc.
