Eighth Station: Jesus is helped by Simon the Cyrenian to carry the cross
We adore you, O Christ, and we bless you. Because by your holy cross you have redeemed the world.
They pressed into service a passer-by, Simon, a Cyrenian, who was coming in from the country, the father of Alexander and Rufus, to carry his cross. (Mark 15: 21)
Observe a few minutes of silent reflection.
Lord, grant us willing spirits that we may be your instruments on earth. Lord Jesus, help us walk in your steps.
Sing: When I survey the wondrous cross On which the Prince of glory died My richest gain I count but loss And pour contempt on all my pride.
