Sorrowful Mysteries

Third Mystery: The Crowning with Thorns

“Hail, King of the Jews!”Matthew 27:29

The soldiers clothe Jesus in a scarlet cloak, press a crown of thorns upon His head and mock Him as king. He who is truly King of Kings endures their scorn.

Fruit of the mystery: Moral courage

The Hail Mary

Hail Mary, full of grace, the Lord is with you. Blessed are you among women, and blessed is the fruit of your womb, Jesus.

Holy Mary, Mother of God, pray for us sinners, now and at the hour of our death. Amen.
