This is the movement of the Holy Family.

Welcome to our Rosary meditation.

I am in Jerusalem,

and we are at the very place

where Pilate condemned Jesus to death, where he was

scourged, crowned with thorns, and made to carry the cross.

In the name of the Father and the Son and the Holy Spirit,

let's call to mind all those we've promised to pray for,

especially for the healing of Little Olivia Canili and

Margo through the intercession of Blessed Pauline Jericho.

Pilot will stand forever as the model of a coward.

Someone who clearly knew that what he was being pressured to do was wrong, cruelly and hatefully wrong, but he did it anyway,

because he was afraid of what would happen if he didn't.

He said clearly that he found no case against Jesus,

but he ordered him to be whipped within an inch of his life, and then he ordered Jesus to be whipped within an inch of his life,

and then he ordered Jesus to be nailed to a cross

until he died of affixiation.

Pilot was the governor. His job was to preserve law and order to keep justice. He tried to wash that responsibility

off his hands right there in front of everyone.

But no leader can wash his hands of his responsibility before God and his fellow man, no man can escape the responsibilities of justice.

So the question is, what made Pilots such a coward?

Our Father who art in heaven, hollow it be your name.
