Meditate upon My Passion
Even Greater Pain
When I came for adoration, an inner recollection took hold of me immediately, and I saw the Lord Jesus tied to a pillar, stripped of His clothes, and the scourging began immediately. I saw four men who took turns at striking the Lord with scourges. My heart almost stopped at the sight of these tortures. The Lord said to me, I suffer even greater pain than that which you see. And Jesus gave me to know for what sins He subjected Himself to the scourging: these are sins of impurity. Oh, how dreadful was Jesus' moral suffering during the scourging! (Diary, 445).
My Prayer Response:
St. Faustina, through your words, we "see" the Lord Jesus stripped and scourged so cruelly! I'm amazed that Jesus said He suffered even greater pain than what you saw because of our sins of impurity. Lord Jesus, have mercy on us sinners for the pain we have caused You.
