Prayer to Our Lady of Sorrows
Jesus is finally overwhelmed with suffering, bowed his head and died.
Jesus offered the sacrifice of his life for our salvation.
Jesus was violently stripped by the executioners.
The disciples carried the body of Jesus to bury it.
Jesus was weak in the extreme when he fell the third time
The women wept with compassion at seeing Jesus
Veronica, seeing Jesus so ill-used, wiped his face.
When Jesus falls the first time, he is so weakened he could scarcely walk
Jesus accepts His Cross and offers to his Father the death he was about to undergo.
Consider how Jesus Christ, after being scourged and crowned with thorns, was unjustly condemned by Pilate to die on the cross.
Consider the second fall of Jesus under the Cross; a fall which renews the pain of all the wounds in his head and members.
