The Fifth Sorrowful Mystery: The Crucifixion

Reading
“Now two others, both criminals, were led away with him to be executed, one on his right, the other on his left. Then Jesus said, ‘Father, forgive them, they know not what they do.’ Then one of the criminals said, ‘Jesus, remember me when you come into your kingdom.’ Jesus replied to him, ‘Today you will be with me in Paradise.’" (Luke 23: 32-34, 39, 42-43)

“Jesus cried out in a loud voice, said: ‘Father, into your hands I commend my spirit.’ And when he had said this he breathed his last.” (Luke 23: 46)

Prayer
Dear Jesus, you were crowned King of all creation because you gave yourself over to the Father’s plan unto the very last drop of your Precious Blood. May the sufferings that evil men perpetrate on innocent children not be held against them but be the cause of their conversion, and may they, like the repentant thief, find their way into your kingdom through a heartfelt acceptance of your offer of mercy.
