FOURTH
SORROWFUL MYSTERY:Carrying
of the Cross.
Jesus carries the
heavy cross upon His shoulders to Calvary.
And as
they led him away, they laid hold upon one Simon, a
Cyrenian, coming out of the country, and on him they laid
the cross, that he might bear it after Jesus. And there
followed him a great company of people, and of women,
which also bewailed and lamented him. But Jesus turning
unto them said: "Daughters of Jerusalem, weep not
for me, but weep for yourselves, and for your children.
For, behold, the days are coming, in the which they shall
say, Blessed are the barren, and the wombs that never
bare, and the paps which never gave suck". ... And
there were also two other, malefactors, led with him to
be put to death.. (Luk 23,26-32)
