Pray while taking a virtual tour of the Church of San Pedro de Alcantara in Pakil, Laguna

Ninth Station of the Cross 
JESUS FALLS THE THIRD TIME

V/. We adore you, O Christ, and we bless you.
R/. Because by your holy cross you have redeemed the world.

A reading from the Holy Gospel according to Luke:

“You are those who have continued with me in my trials; and I assign to you, as my Father assigned to me, a kingdom, that you may eat and drink at my table in my kingdom … Simon, Simon, behold, Satan demanded to have you, that he might sift you like wheat, but I have prayed for you that your faith may not fail; and when you have turned again, strengthen your brethren.” (Lk 22: 28-30a, 31-32)

Points for reflection:

In his third fall, Jesus teaches the virtue of perseverance in suffering, showing that if he did it, so can we.
How do we pick ourselves up in times of trial?
Let us pray for the grace “to cling to Jesus’ fidelity and to trust in his prayer for us.”
