In order to remain a friend of Caesar, Pilate delivers Jesus into the hands of His enemies. Jesus, the most innocent of beings, is condemned to death. His commitment to entering our lives completely begins its final steps. He has said “yes” to God and placed his life in God’s hands. We follow him in this final surrender, and contemplate with reverence each place along the way, as he is broken and given for us.

Make me a channel of your peace.
Where there is hatred from those who condemn you,
let me bring your love and forgiveness to them.

My Jesus, pardon and mercy through the merits of thy sacred wounds.
