IX STATION - JESUS FALLS FOR THE THIRD TIME<br />

We worship you oh Christ and we bless you.<br />

Because by your holy <strong>cross</strong> you have redeemed <strong>the</strong> world. (genuflection)<br />

Reading:<br />

But at my stumbling <strong>the</strong>y ga<strong>the</strong>red in glee, <strong>the</strong>y ga<strong>the</strong>red toge<strong>the</strong>r against me; cripples<br />

whom I knew not slandered me without ceasing; <strong>the</strong>y impiously mocked more and more,<br />

gnashing at me with <strong>the</strong>ir teeth. (Psalm 35:15-16).<br />

We who are strong ought to bear with <strong>the</strong> failings <strong>of</strong> <strong>the</strong> weak, and not to please<br />

ourselves; let each <strong>of</strong> us please his neighbor for his good, to edify him. For Christ did not<br />

please himself; but, as it is written, "The reproaches <strong>of</strong> those who reproached <strong>the</strong>e fell on<br />

me." (Rm. 15:1-3)<br />

A moment <strong>of</strong> prayer, kneeling.<br />

All stand: Let us pray.<br />

Fa<strong>the</strong>r, your Son did not want to be sustained by <strong>the</strong> angels when he struck against <strong>the</strong> rock<br />

<strong>of</strong> our hardness <strong>of</strong> heart: grant us, we implore you, <strong>of</strong> never tempting you when you grant<br />

us to participate a little in <strong>the</strong> suffering <strong>of</strong> his passion.<br />

Grant this through Christ our Lord.<br />

Amen.<br />

Song: Stabat Mater<br />

IX ESTACIÓN - JESÚS CAE POR TERCERA VEZ<br />

Te adoramos oh Cristo y te bendecimos.<br />

Porque por tu santa cruz redimiste al mundo. (genuflexión)<br />

Lectura:<br />

Pero cuando tropecé ellos se alegraron, se juntaron todos contra mí y me golpearon<br />

sorpresivamente; me desgarraban sin cesar, se burlaban de mí con crueldad y rechinaban<br />

contra mí sus dientes. (Salmo 35:15-16)<br />

Nosotros, los que somos fuertes, debemos sobrellevar las flaquezas de los débiles y<br />

no complacernos a nosotros mismos. Que cada uno trate de agradar a su prójimo para el<br />

bien y la edificación común. Porque tampoco Cristo buscó su propia complacencia, como<br />

dice la Escritura: "Cayeron sobre mí los ultrajes de los que te agravian". (Rm. 15:1-3)<br />

Un momento de oración, arrodillado.<br />

Todos están de pie: Oremos:<br />

Padre, tu Hijo no quiso ser sostenido por los ángeles cuando golpeó contra la roca de<br />

nuestra dureza de corazón: concédenos, te imploramos, que nunca te tiremos cuando nos<br />

concedes participar un poco en el sufrimiento de su pasión.<br />

Por nuestro Señor Jesucristo.<br />

Amén.<br />

Canción: Stabat Mater
