The
Third Station Jesus Falls the First Time. |
The
weight is unbearable. Jesus falls under it. How could
he enter our lives completely without surrendering to the crushing
weight of the life of so many on this earth! He lays on the
ground and knows the experience of weakness beneath unfair burdens.
He feels the powerlessness of wondering if he will ever be able to
continue. He is pulled up and made to continue.
We
adore you, O Christ, and we bless you. I stare at the weakness in his eyes. I can look at his whole body and see the exhaustion. As I behold him there on the ground, being roughly pulled up, I know forever how profoundly he understands my fatigue and my defeats.
