Jesus falls the first time under His Cross

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

Bowed down under the weight of the Cross, Jesus slowly sets forth on the way to Calvary amidst the mockeries and insults of the crowd. His agony in the garden has exhausted His body; He is sore with blows and wounds; His strength fails Him; He falls to the ground under the Cross.

Prayer.

O Jesus, ever present in the Blessed Sacrament, Who for our sins didst bear the heavy burden of the Cross, and fell under its weight, may the thought of Thy sufferings make us watchful over ourselves, and save us from any previous fall into sin.

An Act of Contrition.

O God, we love Thee with our whole hearts and above all things, and are heartily sorry that we have offended Thee. May we never offend Thee any more. Oh, may we love Thee without ceasing, and make it our delight to do in all things Thy most Holy Will.

Glory be to the Father
and to the Son
and to the Holy Spirit,
as it was in the beginning
is now, and ever shall be
world without end. Amen.

V. Blessed and praised every moment.
R. Be the Most Holy and Divine Sacrament.
V. Have mercy on us, O Lord.
R. Have mercy on us.
V. May the souls of the faithful departed, through the mercy of God, rest in peace.
R. Amen.
