Simon The Cyrene
Helps Jesus to Carry the Cross

LHS_05sc

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

Jesus are you unable to proceed without help.
The soldiers are impatient and grabs a man from the crowd to help carry the cross. Jesus had just seen his mother, could she have prayed for God to send Help? Yes, I believe she did. As I pray to Mother Mary to help me to.

Prayer:
My most sweet Jesus, I will not refuse the cross, as the Cyrenean did. I accept it; I embrace it. I accept in particular the death destined for me. I unite it to Thy death; I offer it to Thee. 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:
As I sit and contemplate this scene, I can't help to wonder why you God needed help. Do you really need my help, Lord?

As I think about this more, I hear you in my heart tell me, ask me for help and I will help you carry your cross.
