From Junior <strong>Shepherds</strong> <strong>of</strong> <strong>Christ</strong> Associate Meetings 69<br />
7. They spit on Him <strong>and</strong> they hollered at Him. How Jesus suffered <strong>and</strong><br />
how we whine when someone says the smallest thing to us. Help us,<br />
Jesus, to grow to be more like You.<br />
8. He knows that we fall. He asks us to tell Him that we are sorry <strong>and</strong> that<br />
we love Him.<br />
9. When I picture Jesus covered with blood <strong>and</strong> crowned with thorns, covered<br />
with a purple robe, my sufferings do not seem so great.<br />
10. Kings <strong>of</strong> kings, help us to always treat You with the greatest respect <strong>of</strong><br />
love <strong>and</strong> adoration.<br />
Jesus Carries His Cross<br />
1. They stood around Jesus. His h<strong>and</strong>s were tied. The crowd hollered,<br />
“…‘Crucify him!’” (Mk. 15:13)<br />
2. This is our beloved Jesus that loved us so much that He came into this<br />
world. He took on a human body <strong>and</strong> He withstood this treatment. At<br />
any moment, He could have stopped it. In compliance to the Father’s<br />
will <strong>and</strong> in greatest love <strong>for</strong> us, He endured the Passion.<br />
3. They gave to Him a heavy cross that they put on His back. He scarcely<br />
could move with the cross.<br />
4. He fell to the ground <strong>and</strong> His chin hit the ground. Do we see Jesus on<br />
the ground when we are suffering? Do we know how He suffered <strong>for</strong><br />
love <strong>of</strong> us? Jesus shows us the way. The way to Him is the way <strong>of</strong> the<br />
cross. For it is in enduring our crosses, that we share in His life. We<br />
share in the Pascal Mystery <strong>of</strong> death-resurrection. We suffer <strong>and</strong> we<br />
share more fully in His life.<br />
5. The world tells us that we should not suffer. We see Jesus; we see Him<br />
as He walks on the way to Calvary.<br />
6. Jesus’ eyes are filled with blood as He looks at His Mother. Her eyes are<br />
red with tears. No expression could show the anguish she felt.<br />
7. Let us look into the blood covered face <strong>of</strong> Jesus. Let us kiss His blood<br />
covered cheek <strong>and</strong> tell Him <strong>of</strong> our love. Let us see Him through the<br />
eyes <strong>of</strong> Mary. She saw Him suffer <strong>for</strong> love <strong>of</strong> us. She has come to tell us<br />
to go back to her beloved Son.<br />
8. The Mother <strong>of</strong> God is most pure <strong>and</strong> holy. Let us go to her holy heart<br />
<strong>and</strong> dwell there that we may love Jesus with more tender <strong>and</strong> pure love.<br />
Oh, Immaculate Heart <strong>of</strong> Mary, we consecrate our hearts to you.<br />
9. He fell <strong>and</strong> He fell again. We too fall <strong>and</strong> fall. What He wants is our<br />
love.<br />
10. Let us be humble <strong>and</strong> contrite in our hearts. We must tell Jesus how sorry<br />
we are that we have <strong>of</strong>fended Him <strong>and</strong> tell Him how much we love Him.
