Jesus has the Cross laid upon his Shoulders.
A heavy cross is here laid upon the bruised shoulders of Jesus Christ. He receives it with joy, He carries it with unspeakable love, for it is the instrument by which he is to redeem the world.
Oh Jesus! grant me, by virtue, of Thy cross, a loving and generous heart like Thine: and cause me to embrace with courage the difficulties of my state, and to esteem, love and sanctify all the crosses which I am obliged to bear.
