Prayers and Reflection<\/strong>
We adore you, O Christ, and we bless you.
Because by your holy Cross you have redeemed the world.
 
Consider the third fall of Jesus Christ. His weakness was extreme, and the cruelty of His executioners was excessive, who tried to hasten His steps when He had scarcely strength to move.

   \nAh, my outraged Jesus, by the merits of the weakness you didst suffer in going to Calvary, give me strength sufficient to conquer all human respect and all my wicked passions, which have led me to despise your friendship.\n\n\n
 
Our Father
Hail Mary
Glory be<\/strong>
 <\/strong>
I love you, Jesus,<\/strong> my love above all things.
I repent with my whole heart of 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.
 
May the souls of the faithful departed, through the mercy of God, rest in peace. Amen.<\/td>		Scripture Reading:<\/strong> Lamentations 3:27-32

\nIt is good for a man to bear the yoke
\nfrom youth onwards,
\nto sit in solitude and silence
\nwhen the Lord fastens it on him,
\nto put his lips to the dust
\n–\tperhaps there still is hope –
\nto offer his cheek to the striker,
\nto be overwhelmed with insults.
\nFor the Lord does not reject mankind
\nfor ever and ever.
\nIf he has punished, he has compassion
\nso great is his kindness;
\nsince he takes no pleasure in abasing
\nand afflicting the human race.
