Holy Week Retreat 2022 — Day 6 — Good Friday

After being arrested, struck, questioned, sentenced, Our Lord was led to the praetorium to be scourged. He was then mocked by being crowned with a crown of thorns, dressed in a purple cloak and given a reed. Little did the soldiers know that they were truly crowning a King, a King who was chosen by God to gather all the peoples to Himself so that all who looked upon Him might be saved. His glory is shown not on a chair or throne like Herod or Pilate or Caesar, but rather on the Cross which He carried to His execution. We proclaim Christ crucified. It is by His wounds that we have been healed, by His death and Resurrection that we have life. Jesus loved His own to the very end. Jesus died for love of us.
