Simon of Cyrene helps Jesus carry the cross.
Jesus is weak and struggling. The soldiers are afraid he will not make it to the place of execution. They pull a man, Simon of Cyrene, from the crowd to help.
Do I always do as much as I can to help others? When asked for help do I sometimes claim to be too busy? Do I get by doing as little as possible for others?
Dear Jesus, help me to recognise when others may need my help. Give me the grace to offer myself willingly and unselfishly. Let me not seek satisfaction in gratitude and likewise let me not be disappointed when none is offered. May my reward be the knowledge that you love me, and as such I seek to serve you in serving others.
