Fifth Station: Simon of Cyrene Helps Jesus Carry His Cross

I thought I could do it alone. I thought I knew it all, but I found out I did not. I feel so good when I have someone with whom to share my problems, a person who listens and shares my pains with me. You must have felt the same way.

Dear Jesus, I am happy that there are people who care. I didn’t think they would respond, and I thought they would not help. But when I needed them, they were there. Help me to be a friend especially to those in need. Teach me to respond with understanding and compassion. It is in giving myself that I find you.
