Meditation Guide: Station 5
Jesus is faltering under his load. The soldiers fearing that He might die along the way, seize Simon of Cyrene to help him carry his cross. He stopped along the way and noticed that there was a commotion through the streets. He approached to have a closer look to see what was happening, when a soldier grabbed him and forced him to take hold of Jesus’ cross.
