We adore You, O Christ, and we praise You, because by Your holy cross You have redeemed the world.

Jesus, Pilate condemns You to death. You are the victim of injustice and violence, of a quest for power and the desire to protect one's position at the expense of others. Thank You, Jesus.

Teach me, O Lord, to intercede for others. Forgive me for being afraid to intervene for those who suffer, for having often condemned others and for responding to judgement with condemnation. Help me to create the conditions for peace.

Our Father... Hail Mary... Glory Be...

Have mercy on us, O Lord!
Have mercy on us!
