Pilate, the Roman Governor, knew that Jesus was not guilty. But all the people cried out for His death. And because Jesus had taken our place, God, His Father, was willing to let His Son die. Pilate ordered Him to be whipped. The soldiers fastened Him to a stone column. Then with heavy whips with bones at the end, they beat His back. Jesus suffered terribly from this scourging. But He did not cry out. He knew many people commit sins with their bodies. We call these the sins of the flesh. Jesus wanted to suffer for their sad sins and wanted us to be strong against this kind of sin. Father, by the merits of Jesus in this painful scourging, have mercy on us and on the whole world.

Everyone who commits a sin is a criminal against the good God. So he should be punished. But Jesus, our Savior, came to take the sinner’s place. He asked God to punish Him instead of us who really are the guilty ones. This suffering of Christ we call His Passion. On Holy Thursday after He gave us the Blessed Sacrament, He went into a lonely garden called Gethsemane. He looked ahead and saw all He was going to suffer. He saw all our sins. The thought of His Passion and our sins made Him sweat blood. This blood poured down upon the ground in His agony. Then Judas came with the soldiers. Like a traitor he kissed Jesus. The soldiers then led Jesus away to death. Father, by the merits of the agony of Jesus in the Garden, have mercy on us and on the whole world.
