3rd Station - Jesus Falls for the First Time
3rd Station - Jesus Falls for the First Time

"Consider this first fall of Jesus under His Cross. His flesh was torn by the scourges, His head crowned with thorns, and He had lost a great quantity of blood. He was so weakened that he could scarcely walk, and yet he had to carry this great load upon His shoulders. The soldiers struck Him rudely, and thus He fell several times in His journey.

My beloved Jesus, it is not the weight of the Cross, but my sins, which have made Thee suffer so much pain. Ah, by the merits of this first fall, deliver me from the misfortune of falling into mortal sin. I love Thee, O my Jesus, with my whole heart; I repent of having offended Thee. Never permit me to separate myself from 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 from the chapel of St Peter in Stonyhurst College, Lancashire.

During Passiontide, I will be posting one Station of the Cross a day, each taken from a different location in the world.
