SEVENTH STATION

Jesus Falls the Second Time

V. We adore Thee O Christ and we praise Thee.
R. Because by Thy holy Cross Thou
hast redeemed the world

THE suffering Jesus, under the weight of His
cross, again falls to the ground; but the
cruel executioners do not permit Him to rest a
moment. Pushing and striking Him, they urge
Him onward. It is the frequent repetition of our
sins which oppress Jesus. Witnessing this, how
can I continue to sin?

O Jesus, Son of David, have mercy on me!
Offer me Thy helping hand, and aid me, that I
may not fall again into my former sins. From
this very moment, I will earnestly strive to reform:
nevermore will I sin! Thou, O sole support
of the weak, by Thy grace, without which I can
do nothing, strengthen me to carry out faithfully
this my resolution.

Our Father, Hail Mary, Glory Be.
 V. Have mercy on us, Lord.
R. Have mercy on us.
V. May the souls of the faithful departed,
 through the mercy of God, rest in peace.
R. Amen
