Jesus Falls the First Time

 

Priest– We adore You, O Christ, and we Praise You.

(Genuflect)

People– Because, by your holy cross, you have redeemed the world. (Rise)

Priest– Consider the first fall of Jesus. Loss of blood from the scourging and crowning with thorns had so weakened Him that He could hardly walk; and yet He had to carry that great load upon His shoulders. As the soldiers struck Him cruelly, He fell several times under the heavy cross. (Kneel)

People– My beloved Jesus, > it was not the weight of the cross > but the weight of my sins which made You suffer so much. > By the merits of this first fall, > save me from falling into mortal sin. > I love you, O my Jesus, with all my heart; > I am sorry that I have offended You. > May I never offend You again. > Grant that I may love you always; and then do with me as You will.

 

(Optional: Our Father, hail Mary and Glory be.)

 

Christ above in torment hangs

She beneath beholds the pangs

Of her dying, glorious Son.

Jesus Meets His Afflicted Mother

Priest– We adore You, O Christ, and we Praise You.

(Genuflect)

People– Because, by your holy cross, you have redeemed the world. (Rise)

Priest– Consider how the Son met His Mother on His way to Calvary. Jesus and Mary gazed at each other and their looks became as so many arrows to wound those hearts which loved each other so tenderly. (Kneel)

People– My most loving Jesus, > by the pain You suffered in this meeting > grant me the grace of being truly devoted to Your most holy Mother. > And, you, my Queen, who was overwhelmed with sorrow, > obtain for me by your prayers > a tender and a lasting remembrance of the passion of your divine Son. > I love You, Jesus, my Love, above all things. > I repent of ever having offended You. > Never allow me to offend You again. > Grant that I may love You always; and then do with me as You will.

(Optional: Our Father, hail Mary and Glory be.)

 

Is there one who would not weep,

‘whelmed in miseries so deep

Christ’s dear Mother to behold.
