Reading: Oh, to hear insult upon insult, to see Him brutalized, to see His sacred garments torn from Him, and all His wounds open anew. Roughly did they tear those garments from Him, renewing the scourging of the night before. Oh, her heart was just one torment when they seized Him and hurled Him to the ground, threw Him down roughly. With these enormous men Jesus seemed so weak in their grasp. Yet he was God. "As I will it, when I will it, because I will it." Just see them-they have their profane hands on that Sacred Body. Oh, those blasphemous wretches, desecrating the Body of the Living God! (MCM, p. 129)
