.IX — Jesus Falls The Third Time.

We proclaim Christ crucified, a stumbling block to Jews and foolishness to Gentiles, but to those who are called, Jews and Greeks alike, Christ the power of God and the wisdom of God.  For the foolishness of God is wiser than human wisdom, and the weakness of God is stronger than human strength.    (1 Corinthians 1:23-25)

At the very moment when abuse was heaped upon him and when he was crushed by the weight of our sins, our Lord displayed supreme dignity and invincible fortitude.

It was he who determined the course of events, by making even his enemies and the blind fury of the spirit of evil serve the glory of God, and by making of the cross, with which he was burdened, the great means of salvation.

   -- Father Reginald Garrigou - Lagrange, O.P.
