Our Saviour carries his Cross, and is nailed to it

Day 29: Our Saviour carries his Cross, and is nailed to it "Consider, thirdly, how our blessed Lord, having for some time, with unspeakable labour and torment, carried his cross through the streets, at last falls down under its weight, unable to carry it any further. Wonder not, my soul, at this, since besides the load of the cross oppressig his wearied body, wounded in every part, and exhausted with the loss of so much blood, his heavenly Father has laid upon his shoulders another more insupportable weight, viz. that of the sins of the whole world. Ah! Christians, it is under this intolerable burthen that your Saviour faints down. Nor is he any way eased of this merciless load by Simon of Cyrene, who was compelled to take up the cross, but bore no part of the weight of our iniquities; all which the heavenly Father laid upon his beloved Son, to be cancelled with his blood and death. O infinite goodness of the Father! O infinite charity of the Son! to do and suffer so much for wretched man. O my soul, see thou never more be ungrateful to so loving a God."
