STATION III: Jesus Falls the First Time
We adore Thee, 0 Christ, and we bless Thee.
Because by Thy holy Cross, Thou hast redeemed the World.
My dearest Jesus, I thank Thee for this first time
when Thou didst stumble and fall beneath Thy cross.
(Pause for reflection.)By the humiliation Thou didst suffer here
I beg of Thee to grant to priests the grace of avoiding all deliberate sin and,
should they be so unfortunate as to fall, to rise at once and
continue following after Thee. Grant also, dearest Jesus, to those
who suffer persecution for thy sake the grace to follow Thee
unceasingly without regard to human respect.
