–Your leg chains and angry pushing causing loss of balance and three

heavy falls.

–Your cross falling on you becoming as a hammer to the thorns in your
head.

– Your recalling the words that all who see you deride you. They curl their

lips, and toss their heads.

– Your cross cutting and tearing Your already bleeding shoulder as to
mutilate it.

-Your seeing the grumpy unwillingness of the passer-by Simon to assist you

with your cross.

– Your captors afraid you might die before they get you crucified.

– Your destiny as a sign for the fall and the rising of many in Israel that is
rejected.

–Your poignant meeting with holy Veronica and the tearful women in the

crowd.

–Your disallowed meeting with your Mother, a wordless unity in suffering. A
sword has pierced her heart as Simeon said.

“Our Jesus and Mary, your one suffering Love for our Love.”

Our Jesus and Mary, a Divine Will cry for help through:

–Your facing constant spat-out verbal abuse, who even had authority to

calm the wild storm at sea.

–Your pitiful exhaustion as of one who has had to deal with closed minds,
unconvinced and unbelieving .

–Your inner calls to the Father that you keep suffering, suffering for the

many.
