IX
Jesus Falls the Third Time
We adore you, O Christ, and we bless you.
Because by your Holy Cross you have redeemed the world.
I am like water poured out; all My bones are racked. My heart has become like wax. My throat is dried up like baked clay, My tongue cleaves to My jaws; to the dust of death, you have brought Me down.
~ Psalm 22:15-16
Have among yourselves the same attitude that is also yours in Christ Jesus. He emptied Himself, taking the form of a slave. He humbled Himself, becoming obedient to death, even death on a cross.
~ Philippians 2:5-7             
Everyone who exalts himself shall be humbled, and he who humbles himself shall be exalted.
~ Luke 14:11
