Consider this first fall of Jesus under his Cross.
His flesh was torn by the scourges, his head was
crowned with thorns, he had lost a great quantity
of blood. So weakened he could scarcely walk,
he yet had to carry this great load upon his
shoulders. The guards struck him violently and
he fell several times.
We adore you, O Christ, and we praise you.
Because by your holy Cross you have redeemed the world.
