The Second Sorrowful Mystery: The Scourging At The Pillar

Reading
“They led Jesus away to the high priest. But he was silent and answered notion.” (Mark 14: 53, 61)

“When it was morning the bound him, led him away and handed him over to Pilate.” (Matthew 27: 1-2)

“Pilate went out to the Jews and said to them: ‘I find no guilt in him.’ Then Pilate took Jesus and had him scourged.” (John 18: 38; 19: 1)

Prayer
Lord Jesus Christ, in your scourging and death you submitted your whole body to punishment for the sake of the guilty. Pour forth from your sorrowful wounds the healing grace of salvation for all those ministers of death who kill the innocent every day and are caught in the trap of death. May our sufferings in the pro-life movement unite with yours and bring all servants of death out of their darkness and into the light of faith.
