7th Station - Jesus falls a second time
We adore you, O Christ, and we praise you.
Because by your holy cross you have redeemed the world.
Verse: Yet it was our pain that he bore, our sufferings he endured. We thought of him as stricken, struck down by God and afflicted. But he was pierced for our sins, crushed for our iniquity. He bore the punishment that makes us whole, by his wounds we were healed. (Isaiah 53:4-5)
Prayer: Lord Jesus Christ, you were so weak, and could have called on a host of angels to help you carry the cross. But you suffered through this journey to fulfill the will of the Father. I have fallen so many times in my weakness. Jesus, I repent of all my sins. I love you with all my heart. Holy Spirit, grant me the grace to rejoice in my weaknesses and failures, and the strength to rise again; that in all things I may show the strength of Christ in me to others. Amen.
Optional: Our Father...Hail Mary...Glory Be
