SEVENTH STATION
Jesus Falls the Second Time
(Genuflecting) We adore You, 0 Christ, and we praise You.
Because by Your holy Cross You have redeemed the world.


Consider the second fall of Jesus under the Cross; a fall which renews the pain of all the wounds of His head and limbs.

(Pause for silent prayer.)

My most sweet Jesus, how many times have You pardoned me, and how many times have I fallen again, and begun again to offend You. By the merits of this second fall, give me the necessary help to persevere in Your grace until death. Grant that in all temptations which assail me I may always commend myself to You. I love You, Jesus, my love, above all things; I repent with my whole heart of having offended You. Never permit me to separate myself from You again. Grant that I may love You always; and then do with me what You will.

Our Father..., Hail Mary.... Glory be to the Father...
0 Jesus! Who for love of me ...


Bruised, derided, cursed, defiled,
She beheld her tender Child
All with bloody scourges rent.
