There was a man walking by, coming from work, Simon from Cyrene, the father of Alexander and Rufus. They made him carry Jesus' cross.

Let all of us, brothers, consider the Good Shepherd who bore the suffering of the cross to save his sheep.
The Lord's sheep followed him in tribulation and persecution, in shame and hunger, in weakness and temptation, and in others ways; and for these things they received eternal iife from the Lord.
Therefore it is a great shame for us, the servants of God, that the saints have accomplished great things and we want only to receive glory and honour by recounting them.

Look upon him
who for your sake became despised
and follow him,
even though for his sake you are despised in this world.
