Summary

We walk with Christ through His Passion into the glory of new life. In the Crowning with Thorns, He is mocked and humiliated, yet endures with silent strength. As He carries the cross, each step reveals His love and perseverance under the weight of our sins. At the Crucifixion, He hangs on the cross in the ultimate act of sacrifice for the redemption of the world. And in the Resurrection, sorrow is turned to joy, as Christ rises victorious over sin and death, bringing new life. These mysteries draw us to walk faithfully with Him in suffering, to embrace the cross with hope, and to rejoice in the triumph of His love. Today’s focus is the mysteries of the Crowning with Thorns, the Carrying of the Cross, the Crucifixion, and the Resurrection. We will be praying four decades of the Rosary.
