Third Station: Jesus Falls the First Time

I should have said no to the temptation. Instead, look at me. It is difficult to admit to being so weak. I have made a fool of myself. I’m so ashamed and depressed. I am hurting. Why am I not able to resist pressure? And what about the others? My actions have hurt them. I am responsible for their pain. How will I ever be able to take their pain away? I need You to lift me up so that I may continue walking.

Dear Jesus, what made you get up and walk again? Why didn’t you give up instead of carrying on? It would have been so much easier. I ask, I question. But I already know the answer. It is because of Your great love for me that you continue, step by painful step.
