The Second Sorrowful Mystery

The Scourging at the Pillar




Matthew 27: 24-26


Then Pilate saw that he was making no impression, that in fact a riot was imminent. So he took some water, washed his hands in front of the crowd and said, 'I am innocent of this man's blood. It is your concern.' And the people, every one of them, shouted back, 'Let his blood be on us and on our children!' Then he released Barabbas for them. After having Jesus scourged he handed him over to be crucified.

The New Jerusalem Bible (NJB)




Announce the Second Mystery; then say the "Our Father".

Then say ten "Hail Mary's", while meditating on this Mystery.

Say the "Glory Be" then say the "Fatima Prayer" and go to the next mystery.
