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

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 your mercy. Amen.
