Today we will be meditating upon and praying with the second sorrowful mystery, the scourging at the pillar. And to aid today's prayer and meditation, a reflection on some of what we have discussed up to this point. We'll begin by going back again to the series of episodes comparing and in some ways contrasting our Lord and the journey he goes on in his passion and the parable of the prodigal son.
And if you recall in the prodigal son, after the son takes his inheritance and he squanders it and there's a famine, how does he end up? He ends up like bent over, beat up, alone, fighting at the trough for some portion of the food of swine. And we see like an insight there, like into externally, like the effects of sin, the consequences of sin, beat up, bent over, alone. And I propose that Jesus in his scourging is saying like, look at me. Look at me and see like what is being done to me as I am being scourged, as I am beat up, scourged, stripped, mocked. as Jesus, if you will, to quote St. Paul, takes upon himself sin, like he's revealing to us both the nature and the heart of God, which we'll talk about, but also the reality of sin.
And Jesus says, as if he's saying like, look at me, like, this is what sin does to your soul.
How can listeners access the Rosary in a Year prayer plan and app features?
This is the true nature of sin. It appears like shiny and bright. There can certainly be a lot of temptations to watering down sin, the effects of sin, being indifferent towards sin. And Jesus is saying like, look at me, look at me. This is what sin does. This is what sin does to the world. This is what sin does to your own soul, to relationships. This is what sin did to the innocent lamb of God. So we see our Lord scourged as an invitation to be reminded of the great horror of sin. And can this be a source of light, courage, perseverance for us when we are tempted? Okay, next for review today, during one of our episodes on the Lord Scourged at the Pillar, we had a reading from St. Faustina. And if you recall in her prayer and then in her diary, St.
Faustina wrote this experience of the Lord. And this is what she wrote. And Jesus gave to me to know in detail, the gravity of the malice of these ungrateful souls. Then the Lord said to me, I see the sincere pain of your heart, which brought great solace to my heart. And the invitation offered in that episode and renewed today is to be the one, be the grateful soul. who stays with Jesus, who, if you will, consoles the heart of Jesus by being with him in his passion, who sees him scourged, remains with him scourged, and says, I received this gift. I received this gift. I am grateful. Thank you, Jesus. So there's this invitation to be the one, be the grateful soul, be the one who remains with Jesus, who receives the fullness of the gift of the shedding of his precious blood.
And then lastly for today, if you recall, when we looked at the fresco of the flagellation by the artist, Agostino Ciampelli, if you recall, the fresco had somewhat muted colors, but this was broken by Jesus' halo.
