JESUS FALLS A THIRD TIME

                       

Presider:

We adore You, O Christ, and we praise You . . .

All:

(Genuflect)            Because by Your holy Cross You have redeemed the world.

Presider:

Jesus, weakened, crushed, and profaned, once again falls . . . and yet trusting in His Father’s will and power,

He struggles to get up.  Jesus struggles to continue the journey to His death.

How often do we give up on the person who most needs our trust, our encouragement, our unconditional love?

How often do we allow ourselves, and others, to fail?

Let us pray . . .

All:

(Kneel)            Jesus, / in the midst of adversity / You trusted Your Father’s love for You. / Grace us with that same trust / in the 

midst of our difficulties. / Help us to realize that our falls and failures can be redemptive.

All:

(Stand)             Stripped and jeered by His own nation, Jesus stood in desolation, Giving all He had to give.
