The Scourging at the Pillar

Second Sorrowful Mystery

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

Our Father

Our Father, who art in heaven,
hallowed be thy name;
Thy kingdom come;
thy will be done on earth as it is in heaven.

Give us this day our daily bread;
and forgive us our trespasses
as we forgive those who trespass
against us;
and lead us not into temptation,
but deliver us from evil.

Amen.
