<p class="subtitle_brown"><em>According to the Gospel of Mar</em></p>

<p class="quote">Pilate again said to them in reply, &ldquo;Then what do you want me to do with the man you call the king of the Jews?&rdquo; They shouted again, &ldquo;Crucify him.&rdquo; Pilate said to them, &ldquo;Why? What evil has he done?&rdquo; They only shouted the louder, &ldquo;Crucify him.&rdquo; So Pilate, wishing to satisfy the crowd, released Barabbas to them and, after he had Jesus scourged, handed him over to be crucified.</p>

<p class="subtitle_brown"><em>Meditation</em></p>

<p class="normal_text">Lord, I see you among so many men and women. I distinguish your face and your white vest that once Peter, James and John saw in mount Tabor. At the palace, your naked feet show your innocence, but your hands are tied before the ones who sit in the chairs of power. While the water runs to calm the conscious of the world&acute;s kingdoms, soldiers line up to lead you to the throne of glory. The bow they built with their silhouettes is the house of the ancient civilization. But those palaces and temples were not made by God, because you are the palace and the temple, only you are the true luminous column that ties heaven to earth.<br />
&nbsp;</p>

<p class="normal_text">Lord, with you, in this hour, I pray for all who are victims of unfair sentence:&nbsp; &nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;<br />
<strong>V. </strong>Lord, have mercy on us!<br />
<strong>R. </strong>Lord, have mercy on us!<br />
<br />
Our Father...</p>
