PEOPLE: Because by Your holy cross, You have redeemed the world.
Rise.
PRESIDER: The crowds who had come to Jerusalem for the Passover push their way to catch a glimpse of the spectacle. The worn-out body of Jesus staggers beneath the huge beams of the cross. The Lord falls to the ground physically exhausted.
PEOPLE:
Dear Jesus, grant henceforth that by the merits of Your fall under the Cross, I may be saved from my many falls, getting the necessary strength from the worthy reception of the Bread of Life. Amen.
