The Third Sorrowful Mystery: The Crowning With Thorns

Reading
“Then the soldiers of the governor took Jesus inside the praetorium and gathered the whole cohort around him. They threw a scarlet cloak around him. Weaving a crown out of thorns, they placed it on his head and a reed in his right hand.” (Matthew 27, 27-29)

“They began to salute him with: ‘Hail, King of the Jews!’ and kept striking his head with a reed and spitting upon him. They knelt before him.” (Mark 15: 18-19)

Prayer
Dearest Lord, you offered with generous heart all the sufferings that were inflicted upon you in the crowning with thorns for the salvation of sinners. May our sufferings too be the cause for the remission of sin for those who promote the works of death in our world, and may they on day be granted the grace of true conversion of heart.
