Jesus Is Stripped Of His Garments

We adore You, O Christ, and we bless You because by Your holy Cross you have redeemed the world.

Look at Jesus
   Finally Jesus reaches the hill that is the end of the road he has to walk.  Jesus knows that he will die here.  But before he dies, the soldiers will do more to him.  They pull off his long robe, and almost all his clothes are taken from him.

   Jesus stands in front of the crowd with only a small piece of cloth covering part of his body.  Jesus asks God to help him remember that he is not alone, that God is with him through all this.

Look at Your Heart
   Is it hard for you to share or to give away something that you like?  Do you sometimes like to keep everything for yourself?  Do you ever let something of yours be the reason for bad feelings or bad words between you and someone else?

   If you remember a time when something like this happened, remember how your heart felt.  Then, show your heart to Jesus.  You can ask Jesus to help you to have a heart that is like his heart.
