Ave Maria Meditations
By His weakness, Jesus expiated our sins and merited for us the grace to humble ourselves for our sins, to acknowledge our falls and sincerely confess them. He merited for us the grace of fortitude to sustain our weakness.
Christ Jesus, prostrate beneath Your Cross, I adore you. You show Yourself overwhelmed with weakness so as a teach us humility and confound our pride. High Priest, full of holiness, who passed through our trials in order to be like us and to compassionate our infirmities, do not leave me to myself, for I am but frailty. May Your power dwell in me, so that I fall not into evil. Amen.
Blessed Columba Marmion
