And when they had mocked him, they stripped him of the purple cloak, dressed him in his own clothes, and led him out to crucify him.

They brought him to the place of Golgotha (which is translated Place of the Skull). (Mark 15:20-22) Pause and reflect on the Scripture Let Us Pray: Our Father, who art in heaven, Hail Mary, full of grace, Glory be to the Father, and to the Son, and to the Holy Spirit; as it was in the beginning, is now, and ever shall be, world without end. Amen. |
