Sorrowful Mysteries

Prayed on tuesday and friday with the Holy Rosary.

1st Mystery

The Agony in the Garden

Mk 14:32–42

"Father, if it is possible, let this cup pass from me. Yet not my will, but yours, be done." Let us ask for the grace of conformity to the Father's will.

2nd Mystery

The Scourging at the Pillar

Mt 27:26

Pilate has Jesus scourged. By his wounded body we are healed. Let us ask for the grace of mastery over the senses.

3rd Mystery

The Crowning with Thorns

Mk 15:16–20

The soldiers mock Jesus and crown him with thorns. "Hail, King of the Jews!" Let us ask for the grace of humility and patience in the face of humiliations.

4th Mystery

The Carrying of the Cross

Lk 23:26–32

Falling beneath the weight of the cross, Jesus accepts suffering out of love for us. Let us ask for the grace to carry our cross with faith.

5th Mystery

The Crucifixion of the Lord

Lk 23:33–46

"Father, forgive them, they know not what they do." And: "It is finished." Let us ask for the grace of love that gives itself to the end.
