Third Sorrowful Mystery: The Crowning with Thorns

Matthew 27:27-31

The Crowning with Thorns – A crown of thorns is pressed into the head of Jesus. His eyes are filled with tears and blood. His executioners mock and spit on Him.

Resolution – I desire moral courage. My Jesus, I will banish unclean thoughts.

Thanks – My Jesus, thank you for enduring for the sake of my soul.

? What do you think of when you review this mystery?

… the humiliation the persecutors attempted to instill   …how Jesus could not turn His back on the truth that still prevails …what “strength in Christ” looks like  …do not be afraid, but especially not of those who kill the body, but those who try to kill the soul.

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