STATION 9 - Jesus falls the Third Time

Adoration
We adore Thee, O Christ, and we praise Thee, because by Thy holy cross, Thou hast redeemed the world.
*
Meditation*
Jesus, arriving exhausted at the foot of Calvary, falls for the third time to the ground. His love for us, however, is not diminished, not extinguished. What a fearfully oppressive burden our sins must be to cause Jesus to fall so often! Had He, however, not taken them upon Himself, they would have plunged us into the abyss of Hell.

Prayer
Most merciful Jesus, I return Thee infinite tanks for not permitting me to continue in sin and to fall, as I have so often deserved, into the depths of Hell. Enkindle in me an earnest desire of amendment; let me never again relapse, but vouchsafe me the grace to persevere in penance to the end of my life.

Our Father, Hail Mary, Glory be…

Lord Jesus, crucified, have mercy on us!

Stabat Mater
O thou Mother! fount of love,
Touch my spirit from above.
Make my heart with thine accord:

I never knew much about the spirituality of Saint Frances of Assisi, but given what he says about the Station of the Cross, he is my kind of Saint. The Way of the Cross is filled with classic Catholic teachings without being watered-down. Listen to these Stations and see if they speaks to you the way it does me.
