Jesus Falls the First Time

We adore You, O Christ, and we bless You

because by your holy Cross you have redeemed the world.

He has broken my teeth with gravel, pressed my face in the dust... 

~ Lamentations 3:16 
All we like sheep have gone astray; we have turned every one to his own way; and the LORD has laid on him the iniquity of us all. 
~ Isaiah 53:6

Behold, the Lamb of God, who takes away the sins of the world! 

~ John 1:29
