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 Our Father
Our Father in heaven, hallowed be your name; your kingdom come, your 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.
