Jesus falls the third time,
Psalm 37:23 The Lord makes firm the steps of the one who delights in him; though he may stumble, he will not fall, for the Lord upholds him with his hand.
Hebrews 4: 15 For we do not have a high priest who is unable to empathise with our weaknesses, but we have one who has been tempted in every way, just as we are—yet he did not sin. 16Let us then approach God’s throne of grace with confidence, so that we may receive mercy and find grace to help us in our time of need.
Each footstep, and each tortured pace,
Each sinew stretched, each painful trace
Brings with it’s pain, an ache divine,
A weight to bear for humankind.
Such love I see within your hold
Our pain, our torture, lives so soiled.
You stoop beyond your sacred place
And grovel on the ground with grace.
O Lord, your humbled self, speaks ease
Of power, and truth and love and peace.

Give me grace Lord, to live a life of discipline and obedience through charity, and care for others, thereby transforming my life, so that I do not become dominated by the way of this world, a dominion that has brought wealth to the few and poverty to the many. Amen
