Sorrowful Mysteries

Second Mystery: The Scourging at the Pillar

“So Pilate then took Jesus and flogged him.”John 19:1

Pilate has Jesus scourged. The innocent Lamb of God bears the blows in silence, offering His suffering for our sins.

Fruit of the mystery: Purity · mortification

The Fatima Prayer

O my Jesus, forgive us our sins, save us from the fires of hell, lead all souls to heaven, especially those who are in most need of thy mercy. Amen.
