Wednesday, March 27, 2024 Daily Prayer My beloved Savior, I behold You all torn in pieces for me; no longer, therefore, can I doubt that You love me, and love me greatly, too. Every wound of Yours is a sure token on Your part of Your love, which with too much reason demands my love. You, O my Jesus, without reserve, give me Your blood; it is but just that I, without reserve, should give You all my heart. Do You, then, accept of it, and make it to be ever faithful. - Saint Alphonsus Liguori, The Road to Calvary Matthew 26: 14-25 Then went one of the twelve, who was called Judas Iscariot, to the chief priests, and said to them: What will you give me, and I will deliver him unto you?

He saith to him: Thou hast said it.
Meditation on the Scourging at the Pillar Fr. Ignatius of the Side of Jesus, Passionist "The soldiers, having received orders to scourge Jesus Christ, fall furiously upon Him and lead Him to the public place where it is customary to flagellate the lowest criminals. The Jews rejoice at seeing their hated Savior at length condemned to so dreadful a punishment, but Jesus rejoices even more at beholding the long sighed-for hour arrived at last, in which He is to shed His Blood for my salvation through the instrumentality of the scourges. He is consumed with an ardent desire of suffering for my sake..." Continue reading here Jesus,Wounded for Our Sake, Have Mercy on Us!
