III. 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.
The worn out body of Jesus staggers now beneath
the huge Cross... Our Lord falls to the ground
exhausted. Is it not true that as soon as you
cease to be afraid of the Cross, of what people call
the cross, when you set your will to accept the Will of God,
then you find happiness, and all your worries, all your
sufferings, physical or moral, pass away? Truly the Cross
of Jesus is gentle and lovable. There, sorrows cease to count;
there is only the joy of knowing that we are co-redeemers with Him.
Our Father... Hail Mary...
V. Have mercy on us, O Lord
R. Have mercy on us.
