Third Station of the Cross (Way of the Cross) Prayers
These are the prayers said at the Third Station of the Cross led by the leader. These prayers are said before the Fourth Station.
Jesus Falls the First Time
V=> (genuflecting) We adore You, O Christ, and praise You.
R=> Because by your Holy Cross You have redeemed the world.
Consider this first fall of Jesus under His Cross. His flesh was torn by the scourges, His head was crowned with thorns; He had lost a great quantity of blood. So weakened He could scarcely walk, He yet had to carry this great load upon His shoulders. The soldiers struck Him rudely, and He fell several times.
MY Jesus, it is the weight, not of the cross, but of my sins, which has made You suffer so much pain. By the merits of this first fall, deliver me from the misfortune of falling into mortal sin.
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.
