Second Sorrowful Mystery: The Scourging at the Pillar

Jesus is brutally scourged by the Roman soldiers.

Scripture: John 19:1

Then Pilate took Jesus and had him scourged.

Additional Scripture: Matthew 27:26

Then he released Barabbas to them, but after he had Jesus scourged, he handed him over to be crucified.

Meditation: Jesus endures physical torture for our sins. Each lash of the whip was for our healing and redemption.

Fruit of the Mystery: Purity
