The 9th Station
Jesus falls the third time beneath
his Cross
Meditation
I adore Thee O Christ
and I bless Thee
Because by Thy holy Cross
Thou hast redeemed the world
Jesus has now arrived almost at the summit of Calvary; but before he reaches the spot where he is to be crucified, his strength fails him, and he falls the third time,to be again dragged up and goaded onward by the brutal soldiery.
Meditate a while in silence
O Lord Jesus, I entreat thee, by the merits of this thy third most painful fall, to pardon my frequent relapses and my long continuance in sin; and may the thought of these thy sufferings make me hate my sins more and more. Amen
Prayers
O God, I love thee with my whole heart and above all things, and am heartily sorry that I have offended thee. May I never offend thee any more. O may I love thee without ceasing, and make it my delight to do in all things thy most holy will. Amen
The Lord's Prayer...
Have mercy upon me, O Lord
Have mercy upon me
May the souls of the faithful
to the
mercy of God
rest in peace. Amen
