Simon of Cyrene Helps Jesus Carry the Cross
We adore You, O Christ, and we bless You, because by Your holy Cross You have redeemed the world.
Reflection
Simon, a stranger from Cyrene, is forced to help Jesus carry the cross. What begins as compulsion becomes a privilege—to share in the work of redemption. We too are called to help carry the crosses of others.
Prayer
Lord Jesus, open my eyes to see those around me who are struggling under heavy burdens. Give me a willing heart to help carry their crosses, knowing that in serving them, I serve You. Amen.
