The Fifth Station : Simon Helps Jesus Carry His Cross


We adore you, O Christ, and we praise you.
Because by your holy cross you have redeemed the world

The soldiers enlisted the help of a man coming along to carry the heavy wood. Mercifully there was someone to help! We do not know the heart of Simon. We only know the heart of God who provided him.


Fellow lovers of God, let us put on the clothers of mercy, generosity, compasssion and service to others. The Lord is present there.

Our Father

Our Father, who art in heaven,
hallowed be thy name.
Thy kingdom come,

we forgive those who trespass against us.
Do not lead us to the test, but deliver us from all evil - Amen
