Jesus is Condemned to Death

Reading – John 19: 14-16

Now it was the day of Preparation for the Passover; and it was about noon. He said to the Jews, ‘Here is your King!’. They cried out, ‘Away with him! Away with him! Crucify him!’ Pilate asked them, ‘Shall I crucify your King?’ The chief priests answered, ‘We have no king but the emperor.’ Then he handed him over to them to be crucified.

Prayer:

We adore you O Christ and we bless you,

Because by your Holy Cross you have redeemed the world.
