I adore you, O Christ, and I bless you, because by your holy cross, you have redeemed the world!
“The verdict of Pilate was that their demand should be granted. So he released the man who had been imprisoned for rebellion and murder, for whom they asked, and he handed Jesus over to them to deal with as they wished” (Luke 23:24-25).
In the film, Pilate condemned Jesus because of vanity -- he was worried what others would think. Caiaphas condemned Jesus because of pride -- he wanted his way, no matter what. Herod condemned Jesus because of sensuality -- he was indifferent to whatever failed to entertain or interest him.
What about me? Which of these most often drives my sins? What can I do about it?
Pray this prayer from your heart: Lord Jesus, help me to imitate the loving way you accepted your Father’s will -- even though it meant others would be set against you, humiliate you, and cause you great pain. Amen.
Pray one of each prayer: Our Father, Hail Mary, Glory Be
