3° Stazione -- Jesus Falls the First Time

The Hands of Benediction

More than a history of meetings, the Way of the Cross is a succession of falls. In the meetings, there is now the Mother, Veronica, the pious women: in the falls, there are all of us. It seems that the Lord has intended to give us appointment "on the ground" where the meeting is easier and bring about common fragility. The fallen one is not a deserter but one "that comes less than the street": and Jesus attends him, lowered himself under the cross, because no one feels alone in times of darkness.
(cf. d. Primo Mazzolari)
