Ninth Station – Jesus falls a third time

V. We adore You, O Christ, and we praise You. (Genuflect)

R. Because, by Your holy Cross, You have redeemed the world. (Rise)

V. Consider how Jesus fell a third time. He was extremely weak and the cruelty of His executioners was excessive, they tried to hasten His steps when He hardly had strength to move. (Kneel)

R. My outraged Jesus, by the weakness You suffered in going to Calvary, give me enough strength to conquer all human respect, and all my evil passions, which have led me to despise Your friendship. I love You, Jesus my love, with all my whole heart; I am sorry for having offended You. Never permit 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)

O You Mother! fount of love! Touch my spirit from above, make my heart with thine accord:
