Station VII: Jesus Falls the Second Time
V. We adore thee, 0 christ. And we bless thee:
R. Because by thy holy cross Thou hast redeemed the world.
Behold the Lord of Heaven falls
to the earth again. The Cross becomes
the outward sign of all our sins,
and sin's intolerable weight.
V. Holy god, holy and mighty, holy and immortal,
R. Have mercy upon us.
V. But i am a worm and no man,
R. The reproach of men, and despised by the people.
LET US PRAY
O BLESSED LORD JESUS, who didst walk the lonely road
of life to death itself that no one need ever be alone
again: Help all who stumble in blindness of heart, confusion
of mind, and loneliness of soul to know
thee who art the light of the world, and who livest and
reignest with the Father and the Holy Ghost, ever one God, world
without end. AMEN.
Now we to the Father offer
All who suffer grievous pain,
As we contemplate how Jesus
Sorely laden falls again,
While His bruised and bleeding body
Purples earth with sacred stain
