VII
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.
Consider the second fall of
Jesus under the crossa fall which renews the pain of all the wounds
of the head and members of our afflicted Lord.
My most gentle Jesus, how many times Thou hast pardoned me, and how many
times have I fallen again, and begun again to offend Thee! Oh, by the merits
of this new fall, give me the necessary helps to persevere in Thy grace until
death. Grant that in all temptations which assail me I may always commend
myself to Thee. I love Thee, Jesus, my love, with my whole heart; I repent
of having offended Thee. Never permit me to offend Thee again. Grant that
I may love Thee always; and then do with me what Thou wilt.
All:
Our Father, Who art in Heaven, hallowed be Thy Name. Thy Kingdom come, Thy
will be done on earth, as it is in Heaven. And give us this day our daily
bread and forgive us our trespasses as we forgive those who trespass against
us. And lead us not into temptation, but deliver us from evil.
Hail Mary, full of grace, the Lord is with thee. Blessed art thou amongst
women and blessed is the Fruit of thy womb, Jesus. Holy Mary, Mother of God,
pray for us sinners, now and at the hour of our death.
Glory be to the Father, and to the Son, and to the Holy Spirit, as it was
in the beginning, is now, and ever shall be, world without end. Amen.
