Lord Jesus Christ, take me along that holy way you once took to your death, Take my mind, my memory, above all my reluctant heart, and let me see what you once did for love of me and all the world.

We adore you, O Christ, and we bless you.

Because by your Holy Cross, you have redeemed the world.

Fifth Station: The Cross Is Laid Upon Simon of Cyrene

They led him out to crucify him. They enlisted a passer-by Simon of Cyrene, father of Alexander and Rufus, who was in from the country, to carry his cross. – Mark 15:16
