Seventh Station of the Cross (Way of the Cross) Prayers

These are the prayers said at the Seventh Station of the Cross led by the leader. These prayers are said before the Eighth Station.

Jesus Falls the Second Time

V=> (genuflecting) We adore You, O Christ, and praise You.

R=> Because by your Holy Cross You have redeemed the world.

Consider the second fall of Jesus under the Cross: a fall which renews the pain of all the wounds in His head and members.

MY Jesus, how many times have you pardoned me, and how many times have I fallen again, and begun again to offend You. By the merits of this second fall, give me the help necessary to persevere in Your grace until death. Grant that in all temptations which assail me, I may always commend myself to You.

I love You, Jesus, my love, above all things; I repent with my whole heart for having offended you. Never permit me to separate myself from you again. Grant that I may love you always; and then do with me what you will.
