The Seventh Station

The Seventh Station is presented by the apostle Bartholomew, also called Nathaniel, dressed in the robes of an eastern bishop. The knife refers to his martyrdom. 

JESUS FALLS FOR THE SECOND TIME

In spite of the help he fell again.  He was being hurried by the soldiers, the road was uphill, and his strength was failing with every step of the way.

Lord, you are always ready to lift us when we fall.  May your example teach us to be understanding towards others, to help rather than to judge, to support rather than to condemn.

We pause for some quiet moments of prayer, our eyes on “the outstretched arms of Christ Crucified….”

Save us, Saviour of the World, for by your Cross and Resurrection you have set us free.
