Third Station
Jesus Falls the First Time
V.
We adore Thee, O Christ, and we praise Thee.
R. Because by Thy holy Cross, Thou hast redeemed the world.
Carrying the Cross, our dear Savior was so weakened with its
heavy weight that He fell exhausted to the ground. The Cross was light and
sweet to Him, but our sins made it so heavy and hard to carry.
Beloved Jesus, * Thou didst carry the burden and the heavy
weight of my sins. * Should I then not bear in union with Thee * my light
burden of suffering, * and accept the sweet yoke of Thy commandments? * Thy
yoke is sweet and Thy burden is light. * I willingly accept it. * I will
take up my cross and follow Thee.
Our Father, Hail Mary, Glory be.
V. Lord Jesus,
crucified.
R. Have mercy on us.
Christ above in torment hands:
She beneath beholds the pangs
Of her dying glorious Son.
