St. Leonard's Way of the Cross: Fifth Station

Simon of Cyrene helps Jesus

Then, to assist my weary Jesus, a man is forced to carry the cross for him. Sadly, I see that I am that Cyrenean, who occasionally though unwillingly takes up some cross that you, my Jesus, offer me.

How foolish I am! For my whims, for my pleasure, I don’t dread hardships, I don’t fear dangers, I don’t count the sweat. For you, my dear Jesus, everything aggravates me, everything bores me, I seek to avoid everything. How lukewarm, how weak I am!

My Jesus, grant me a little fervor, enliven my courage to suffer with you, so that I may rejoice with you forever.

Reading: Matthew 27:32; Mark 15:21;Luke 23:26
