Jesus Falls the Third Time. |
The Ninth Station |
This last fall is devastating. Jesus can barely proceed to the end. Summoning all this remaining strength, supported by his inner trust in God, Jesus collapses under the weight of the cross. His executioners look at him as a broken man, pathetic yet paying a price he deserves. They help him up so he can make it up the hill of crucifixion. |
| We adore
you, O Christ, and we bless you. Because by your holy cross you have redeemed the world. |
|
| Previous Station | I pause to contemplate
him there on the ground. The brokeness that makes me whole. The
surrender that gives me life.
I pause to experience and receive how completely he loves me. He is indeed completely poured out for me. As I treasure this gifted experience, I express what is in my heart. |
