Stations of the Cross

5. The Cross is Laid upon Simon of Cyrene

V. We adore Thee O Christ, and we praise Thee
R. Because by thy holy Cross thous hast redeemed the world.

As the strength of Jesus fails and he is unable to proceed, the executioners seize and compel SImon of Cyrene to carry his cross. The virtue of that cross changed his heart and from a compulsory task, it became a privilege and a joy.

V. O Jesus! may it be a privilege also to bear Thy cross; may we glory in nothing else; by it may the world be crucified unto us, and we unto the world. May we never shrink from our sufferings, but rather rejoice if we may be counted worthy to suffer for Thy names sake.

R. I love you Jesus, my love above all things, and I repent with my whole heart at having ever 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, who art in heaven, hallowed be Thy name. Thy kingdome come, Thy will be done on earth, as it is in heaven. Give us this day our daily bread, and forgive us our tresspasses as we forgive those who trespass against us, and lead us not into temptation, but deliver us from evil. Amen.

Hail Mary, full of grace, the Lord is with you. Blessed are you amongst women, and blessed is the fruit of thy womb - Jesus. Holy Mary, Mother of God, pray for us sinners now, and at the hour of our death. Amen.

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. May the souls of the faithful departed, through the mercy of God, rest in peace.
R. Amen.
