-Your ropes and criminal chains forcing on you, the God-man, a painful
hobble.
-Your pushed-fall into the fetid Kidron cesspool, absorbing you in its foul
stench.
–Your dragging out to shiver in the cold, no drying you, only crude ridicule.
–Your being belted, punched and dragged into ever more hostile
surroundings.
–Your trial as a common criminal, in claiming to be God, not defendable.
– Your Peter, your appointed leader, swearing he does not know you.
–Your case already decided in a show trial by the so deceitful a high priest.
-Your Godly reply that you are He and the high priest tearing his garments
indicating blasphemy and its punishment, death.
–Your sentence declaring it better for one man to die for the people and die
you would but for us all.
-Your night-time of torture by brutal high priest servants.
Our Jesus and Mary a Divine Will cry for help through:
– Your bravery under endless efforts to break your spirit.
– Your final tortuous stringing up to deny you rest till daylight, Good Friday.
Your committal to the Roman governor by Caiphas to perpetrate his
injustice.
– Your questioning by Pilate while your own people scream outside that you
must die.
– Your innocence clearly evident to Pilate, but it is for himself he fears.
