    A Man, Simon, helps Jesus Carry His Cross

    Fifth Station: Look at Jesus
    Jesus is so tired that the soldiers know he cannot carry the heavy cross by himself. So they look around and see someone who looks strong enough to help Jesus carry this cross. This person's name is Simon.

    Jesus just looks at Simon and quietly whispers, "Thank you" to Simon. Then they continue on the long road, carrying the cross together.

    Look at Your Heart
    Sometimes helping someone can be difficult, for so many different reasons. Maybe you haven't finished something that you like to do, when someone asks you for help. Or maybe you just don't feel like helping that person.

    Can you think of a time when you were asked to help someone and did not want to help? Show Jesus what it was like when that happened, and picture Jesus loving you as you show him your heart. Maybe you can even hear Jesus whisper, "Thank you for helping." When you are ready, you can ask Jesus to help you to have a helping heart.

    Psalm 68 (69)

    Seek the Lord, and he will give life to your soul.
    I am weak and I suffer,
      but your help, O God, will sustain me.
    I will praise the name of God in song
      and proclaim his greatness with praises.
    This will please the Lord more than oxen,
      than cattle with their horns and hooves.
    Let the humble see and rejoice.
      Seek the Lord, and your heart shall live,
    for the Lord has heard the needy
      and has not despised his captive people.
    Let heaven and earth praise him,
      the seas and all that swims in them.
    For the Lord will make Zion safe
      and build up the cities of Judah:
      there they will live, the land will be theirs.
    The seed of his servants will inherit the land,
      and those who love his name will dwell there.
    Glory be to the Father and to the Son and to the Holy Spirit,
      as it was in the beginning, is now, and ever shall be,
      world without end.
    Amen.

    Seek the Lord, and he will give life to your soul.

    Turn back to the Lord your God,
    - because he is tenderness and compassion.

    How lovely is your dwelling-place, Lord God of hosts! My soul is longing for the courts of the Lord. My heart and my soul sing out for joy to God, the living God.
    God is within the holy place where the Most High dwells: it cannot be shaken. My heart and my soul sing out for joy to God, the living God.

    Let us pray.
    Lord, open our hearts to your grace.
    Restrain us from all human waywardness
      and keep us faithful to your commandments.
    [We make our prayer] through our Lord Jesus Christ, your Son,
      who lives and reigns with you in the unity of the Holy Spirit,
      God for ever and ever.
    Amen.


    Canticle Nunc Dimittis

    Keep us safe, Lord, while we are awake, and guard us as we sleep, so that we can keep watch with Christ and rest in peace.
    Now, Master, you let your servant go in peace.
      You have fulfilled your promise.
    My own eyes have seen your salvation,
      which you have prepared in the sight of all peoples.
    A light to bring the Gentiles from darkness;
      the glory of your people Israel.
    Glory be to the Father and to the Son and to the Holy Spirit,
      as it was in the beginning, is now, and ever shall be,
      world without end.
    Amen.

    Keep us safe, Lord, while we are awake, and guard us as we sleep, so that we can keep watch with Christ and rest in peace.

    --------------------------------------------------------------------------------

    Let us pray.
    Lord, let us be so united with your only Son that we become worthy to rise with him into new life, who lives and reigns for ever and ever, Amen.

    --------------------------------------------------------------------------------

    May the almighty Lord grant us a quiet night and a perfect end.
    AMEN

    May each person's intentions and paths be known by God. I truly pray for ease of life, and for each person's projects/profession/businesses/foundations and families be given some extra Spiritual energy and guidance this week.

    some of us are asking for our children and husbands lives be made smooth, where there may be cracks. Let them be mended and made stronger.

    I do pray for Olga, as she becomes another bright light in the night sky....She gave us all of gift in sharing her husband's love with so many in the Stage IV group. I sincerely hope he knows what it means to wives and girlfriends to witness the love of a husband for a wife, and the honoring of vows in sickness and in health. may we all have our soul mate by our side or a soulmate waiting to meet us.
