Jesus falls under the weight of the cross. In the Via Crucis with Christians LGBT+

Meditation by Carmelo delFordProposed in the Via Crucis "i believe in this love"Held in the church of San Carlo al Lazzaretto in Milan on Friday 11 April 2025

Lord Jesus, you fell under the weight of the cross, under the weight that injustice, malice and human cowardice have leaned on you. Innocent you accepted the sentence without reacting. Around you the crowd has only curious, hard or fearful unable of piety for a condemned from pain.

By yourself you raised yourself by reloading the cross of your passion on your shoulders, and with infinite patience you resumed the painful climb.

I also fell, I could not resist at the moment of the test. I fell under the weight of my faults due to lack of charity, superficiality, inability to accept my limit.

But you saw me in ruins, you had compassion and you came to my rescue. You bent over me, you embraced my fragility and you raised me.

You take me your arm to accompany me on the path of life. Many times I still succumb. You know my weaknesses but to my invocation you will promptly be brought together.

That he is not afraid for my falls but more and more trust than your presence.
