( We adore thee, O Chirst, and we bless/parise thee.
Because by thy holy cross, Thou hast redeemed the world.)

JESUS CARRIES HIS CROSS
How heavy the cross must have weighed on Jesus shoulder, How it must have hurt Him; After being previously beaten and scourged and subjected to all sorts of inhuman tortures, a cross was now forced upon His shoulders. But He meekly and humbly carried His cross courageously; He carried the weight of the sins of the whole world upon His shoulders, the sins of all generations.
Prayer
Strengthen us Lord Jesus, to carry our cross with faith and trust, and without complaining of its weight or size.
