Exhausted at the foot of Calvary, Jesus falls for the third time to the ground. How painfully it must have been to reopen all the wounds of His tender body by these repeated falls.  And how enormous must my sins be, to cause Jesus to fall so painfully. Had not Jesus taken my sins upon Himself, they would have plunged me into the abyss of Hell.

Most merciful Jesus,  I return Thee a thousand thanks  for not permitting me to die in my sins  and fall into the abyss of Hell,  as I have deserved so often.  Enkindle in me a sincere desire to amend my life.  Let me never again fall into sin,  but grant me the grace of final  perseverance.
