Jesus Falls the Third Time
 V.
We adore Thee, O Christ, and we praise Thee.
R.
Because by Thy holy Cross, Thou hast redeemed the world.
Exhausted at the foot of Calvary, Jesus falls for the third time to the
ground. How painfully must have been reopened all the wounds of His tender
body by these repeated falls. And how enormous must my sins be, to cause
Jesus to fall so painfully. Had not Jesus taken my sins upon Himself, they
would have plunged me into the abyss of Hell.
Most merciful Jesus, * I return Thee a thousand thanks * for not permitting
me to die in my sins * and fall into the abyss of Hell, * as I have deserved
so often. * Enkindle in me a sincere desire to amend my life. * Let me never
again fall into sin, * but grant me the grace of final perseverance.
Our Father, Hail Mary, Glory be.
V.
Lord Jesus, crucified.
R.
Have mercy on us.
Make me feel as thou has felt;
Make my soul to glow and melt,
With the love of Christ my Lord.
