THE THIRD STATION: JESUS FALLS THE FIRST TIME UNDER THE CROSS


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


REFLECTION

He loved us so much that, sinless himself, he suffered for us the punishment we deserve. 

Jesus went the way of the cross and fell the first time under the heavy weight of the cross. it is the weight of our sins that caused Jesus to fall under the 'heavy weight' of the cross. 

We participate in the journey to Calvary through the various stations to remind ourselves of the fact that Jesus accompanies us at every step of our Christian journey, as such, lets us be steadfast.

PRAYER: May Christ always give us the strength to rise up after every fall in our Christian journey of life and continue steadfastly to the Ultimate goal. 

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...
