Jesus Carries His Cross
Jesus is Made to Carry the Cross

V. We adore Thee, O Christ, and we praise Thee.
R. Because by Thy holy Cross, thou hast redeemed the world.

The Cross in placed upon his scourged torn shoulders.
The wood green and heavy, weighing heavily with all our sins.
Jesus accepts it with gladness of heart, for the salvation of mankind.

Prayer:
My most beloved Jesus, by the merits of the pain Thou didst suffer in carrying Thy cross to Calvary, give me the necessary help to carry my cross with perfect patience and resignation.
The Way of the Cross of Saint Alphonsus Liquori

Our Father...
Hail Mary...
Glory Be...
v. Have Mercy upon us O Lord.
r. Have Mercy on us.

May the souls of the faithful departed, through the mercy of God, rest in peace.

Meditation:
I just laid all my sins and weaknesses on His shoulders.
Jesus had foresight and can see all things and was fully prepared for the weight of the whole world's sins to be carried. As the cross was cruelly dropped onto His tortured body and tattered torn shoulders, my heart drops because I added to this as well.

My heart is so torn of the misery I have caused against my God. Would I ever be forgiven after this. It was my sins that those soldiers struck Jesus with blow after blow, me causing such misery. Jesus I truly am sorry.
