Seventh Station of the Cross 
JESUS FALLS THE SECOND 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 first letter of Peter:

“Christ suffered for you, leaving you an example, that you should follow in his steps. He committed no sin; no guile was found on his lips. When he was reviled, he did not revile in return; when he suffered, he did not threaten; but he entrusted himself to the one who judges justly. He himself bore our sins in his body on the tree, that we might die to sin and live to righteousness. By his wounds you have been healed.” (1 Pt 2: 21b-24)

Points for reflection:

Like Jesus, we bear the cross not only of our infirmities but also of life’s daily trials.
Jesus bears his burden freely, enduring it “in patience, as a means of instructing our own patience.” How well do we bear our burdens?
Let us pray for the grace of Christ’s loving patience.
