Stations of the Cross - #7
Jesus falls the second time
under the cross.
We adore you, O Christ, and we praise you;
Because by your holy cross you have redeemed the world.
Reflection
Scripture:
�Like a sapling he grew up in front of us, like a
root in arid ground. Without beauty, without
majesty, no looks to attract his eyes; a thing
despised and rejected by all, a man of sorrows
and familiar with suffering, one to make people
screen their faces; He was despised and we took
no account of him�harshly treated with, he
bore it humbly; he never opened his mouth,
like a lamb that is led to the slaughter.�
[Isaiah 53, 2-3] |

A Prayer
�Give me your courage, Lord.
When failure presses heavily on me
and I am desolate,
stretch out your hand
to lift me up.
I know I must not cease,
but persevere
in doing good.
But help me, Lord.
Alone there is nothing I can do.
With you, I can do anything you ask.� |
