3. He loved Judas so dearly and Judas betrayed Him with a kiss. He
wants us to come to Him with hearts full of love. We must have
hearts that will unite with His, that will become one with His, and
that will give to this world His love for our hurting brothers. He was
scourged at the pillar for love of our brothers. Listen to the blows
that they gave to Him. They are the blows that He suffered for our
brothers. How can we treat our brothers badly when they tore His
flesh, and out of greatest love He withstood all this treatment for our
beloved brothers?
4. He gave His all. He stood there. He was beaten. He was bruised. He
was bloodied. He came to show you the way, the way to love. They

endless love. His power never goes out. His love is never spent. Come
to His Most Sacred Heart and He will fill your heart with endless

that cannot be contained. It will radiate from our beings to all those we
touch.
9. When He walked from the pillar, the earth was marked by His bloody
footprints.
10. As the earth was marked by His bloody footprints, I ask you to make a mark
on this world, to spread to this world the love of His Most Sacred Heart.
The Crowning with Thorns
1. His body was battered, bruised, and bloodied. They covered Him with
a dirty purple robe that they put on top of His wounds. He held a
scepter and they crowned Him with a sharp crown of piercing thorns.
2. Do you know what it is like to get a little splinter in your hand? They
pounded into Jesus’ most precious head thorns that were thick and
