Station 9 Jesus falls the third time
Even though he
has been relieved of the burden of the heavy cross, Jesus falls for the third
and last time. This time he has reached the place of his death, the hill called
Golgotha, the place of the skull. They are now outside the city. The crowds
continue to push and yell and scream. He remains on the ground as the soldiers
to begin to strip him.
O Lord our
hearts ache and we shake as we know how this story continues. We cannot bear
the thought of your intense agony. We recoil in horror at the thought of nails
into your hands and feet.
