58. Sorrowful Mysteries: Scourging at the Pillar

We continue our series on the sorrowful mysteries this week with the Scouring at the Pillar. Before sending Jesus to be scourged, Pilate was faced with the choice of standing up for what was right in his eyes, and even more powerfully through his wife's eyes, or caving into the pressure of the crowds. 

When Pilate saw "that he was gaining nothing, but rather that a riot was beginning,” he gave in to the pressure to please the crowds, rather than listen to the inner voice that was dying to scream for what is true, just, and right.  The King of the Universe was then sent off to be brutally, painfully, and cruelly scourged at the pillar for all to see. 

What torture our good God went through at the hands of many and, more specifically in this Gospel reflection, at the hands of one man whose regrettable role in salvation history will live on forever.  This isn't merely a painfully sad  historical story , but rather a calling for all of us to reflect on during our own journey and to recognize where we too may have turned our backs on Christ in order to please others. 

This one is another meaty one for my own heart as I journey hand in hand with Momma Mary and move ever closer towards Christ. 

Hope you all have a blessed week!
