Jesus falls the third time
"We adore you, O Christ, and we praise you. Because by your holy cross you have redeemed the world. "
Psalm 22:14:
I am poured out like water, and all my bones are out of joint. My heart has turned to wax; it has melted away within me.
Reflection:
Jesus, the King of the universe, the savior of all of our souls fell not once, not twice, but three times. Jesus is exhausted and the weight of the cross overwhelms him. There are times in our lives like this too–times when we don’t know which way is up or down, left or right, back or forward. Even through all of this pain and suffering, Jesus continued to follow God's plan. We should try to model this in our everyday lives. I know there will be times when we make mistakes and fall, like Jesus, but like Jesus, continue to follow God's plan.
Prayer:
Lord, while following your father's plan you fell three times, but even while full of pain and agony, you continued to follow God's plan. Grant us the same strength that when we fall, we can get up and continue to follow God's plan. We ask for you to help show the path to God's will.
