THE NINTH STATION: JESUS FALLS A THIRD TIME


L.   We adore you, O Christ, and we praise you
A.   Because by your cross you have redeemed the world



REFLECTION

The journey we make with Christ is full of falls and rise. God calls on us not stay on the ground when fall. Let us look at our Saviour Jesus, who falling a third time under the heavy cross still embraces the cross. 

Let us remember that every fall would brings us closer and closer to God, if we rely on his grace. His Grace is sufficient for us and his strength is perfected in our weakness (2 Corinthians 12:9).

Sometimes, sin can make us believe God cannot help us. Sin can rob our conviction of God’s compassion.  All Christ want from us is to keep walking with our eyes focused on him.

 

PRAYER:

Lord, give us the grace that will sustain us in our journey towards you. Help us to rise anytime we fall; knowing that you will not give up on us. Amen.

I pray you, that through the suffering that you underwent in carrying of the cross, grant me the needed grace, so that I may carry my own in patience and to reach out to others. Lord Jesus crucified! Have mercy on us!  Reflection by Daniel Baah (Theolo...
