9th Station - Jesus Falls Third Time
"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.
Ah, my outraged Jesus, by the merits of the weakness Thou 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 Thy friendship. I love Thee, Jesus my love, with my whole heart; I repent of having offended Thee. Never permit me to offend Thee again. Grant that I may love Thee always; and then do with me what Thou wilt."
– Reflection by St Alphonsus Liguori.
This station is in the Caldwell Chapel in the Catholic University of America, Washington DC.
During Passiontide, I am posting one Station of the Cross a day, each taken from a different location around the world.
