Second Sorrowful Mystery: Scourging at the Pillar

Matthew 27:24-26; John 19:1

The Scourging at the Pillar – Our Lord Jesus Christ is stripped, bound to a pillar and cruelly scourged until His innocent body is covered with wounds and blood.

Resolution – I desire a spirit of mortification. My Jesus, I will keep my body pure.

Thanks – Thank you, Father, for freeing us with your divine justice.

… the suffering our sin has brought   …why God gave us free will   …Barabbas …Pilate   …forgiving those who have trespassed against you, the way Jesus forgave those who trespassed against him   …how the body and the soul can work together for God.

After reviewing the Resolution and Thanks statements and the meditations, can you think of additional ones?
