US Council of Catholic Bishops statement on the Eucharist "Happy are those who are called to His Supper: PDF file

 2 Peter 1:5-7 Make every effort to supplement your faith with virtue, virtue with knowledge, knowledge with self-control, self-control with endurance, endurance with devotion, devotion with mutual affection, mutual affection with love. - "Whenever we find ourselves bombarded with accusations over past sins, with demeaning reminders of our weakness, unworthiness, or uselessness, we can turn to the blood of Jesus for protection and Satan must flee! His temptations, his accusations lose their grip, and we are restored to the truth once more of who we are in Christ. Deliverance is ours, even as Jesus rejoices over us all because we have called upon the power of his blood!" (from the Word Among Us)

THIRD STATION

Jesus Falls the First Time under His Cross

V. We adore Thee, O Christ, and we praise Thee.
R. Because by Thy holy cross Thou hast redeemed the world.

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 of my sins, which has 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 offend Thee again. Grant that I may love Thee always; and then do with me what Thou wilt.

Our Father, Hail Mary, Glory be to the Father

Christ above in torment hangs,
She beneath beholds the pangs
Of her dying, glorious Son.
