Stations of the Cross – Station 9

My Jesus, even with the help of Simon You fell a third time.

Were You telling me that there may be times in my life that I will fall again and again despite the help of friends and loved ones?

There are times when the crosses You permit in my life are more than I can bear.

It is as if all the sufferings of a life time are suddenly compressed into the present moment and it is more than I can stand.

Though it grieves my heart to see You so weak and helpless, it is a comfort to my soul to know that you understand my sufferings from Your own experience.

Your love for me made You want to experience every kind of pain just so I could have someone to look to for example and courage.
