THE THIRD SORROWFUL MYSTERY
 
THE CROWNING WITH THORNS
LORD, GRANT ME THE GRACE TO BE IN THE WORLD,
BUT NOT OF IT
Our Father...

1.  The soldiers now led Jesus away into the hall known
as the Praetorium; at the time they assembled the whole
cohort.  (Mk. 15: 16)  -
Hail Mary...

2.  They dressed him in royal purple, then wove a crown
of thorns and put it on him.
(Mk. 15: 17)  -
Hail Mary...

3.  They began to salute him, All hail!  King of the Jews!  
(Mk. 15: 18)  -
Hail Mary...

4.  Continually striking Jesus on the head with a reed
and spitting at him, they genuflected before him and
pretended to pay him homage.
(Mk. 15: 19)  -
Hail Mary...

5.  Pilate said to the crowd:  "Observe what I do.  I am
going to bring him out to you to make you realize that I
find no case against him."  (Jn. 19: 4)  -
Hail Mary...

6.  When Jesus came out wearing the crown of thorns
and the purple cloak, Pilate said to them, "Look at the
man!"  (John 19: 5)  -
Hail Mary...

7.  As soon as the chief priests and the temple guards
saw him they shouted, "Crucify him! Crucify him!"
(Jn. 19: 6)  -
Hail Mary...

8.  "Why, what crime has he committed?"  asked Pilate.  
They only shouted the louder, "Crucify him!"
(Mk. 15: 14)  -
Hail Mary...

9.  Pilate said to the Jews, "Look at your king!"
(Jn. 19: 14)  -
Hail Mary...

10.  In the end, Pilate handed Jesus over to be crucified.  
(Jn. 19: 16)  -
Hail Mary...

Glory be to the Father, and to the Son, and to the
Holy Spirit. As it was in the beginning, is
now, and ever shall be, world without end.  
Amen.

O my Jesus, forgive us our sins. Save us from the
fires of Hell; lead all souls into Heaven,
especially those in most need of Thy mercy.  
Amen.
