Ninth Station
Jesus Falls The Third Time
We adore You, O Christ, and we bless You.
Because by Your Holy Cross You have redeemed the world.
Jesus is now almost at the summit of Calvary. His weakness is extreme. The
excessively brutal solders, anxious to crucify Him, cruelly try to hasten
His steps, but He can scarcely move, and Jesus falls a third time.
O Lord Jesus, by the merits of this third most painful fall, pardon my
frequent relapses into sin and give me the strength I need to conquer all
human respect and all my wicked passions. Imprint the thought of all Your
sufferings firmly in my mind so that I may hate my sins more and more.
My beloved Jesus, I love You above all things. I am truly sorry for having
offended You, and I repent with my whole heart. May I never offend You
again. Grant that I may never cease to love You, and do with me as You
will.
Our Father...
Hail, Mary...
Glory be...
