<p class="subtitle_brown"><em>According to the Gospel of Luke&nbsp;&nbsp;(Luke 23, 22-24)</em></p>

<p class="quote">A third time Pilate said to them, &ldquo;What evil has this man done? I have found in Him no offense worthy of death. So after I punish Him, I will release Him. &rdquo;But they were insistent, demanding with loud voices for Jesus to be crucified. And their clamor<em> </em>prevailed.<strong> </strong>So Pilate sentenced that their demand be met.</p>

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

<p class="normal_text">Lord Jesus, I see you exposed to the crowd, the same crowd, certainly, that followed you so many times, curious or in need, and who you satisfied and welcomed, because it was starved and lost, that believed in you and claimed you, such was the strength of your work. However, the conversion was not accomplished yet: the fidelity to the Alliance - whom relation of absolute freedom and total love compromise &ndash; continued to be only on the divine side. Humanity insisted on infidelity and rejection. To your crystal truth, that Pilate may have seen, your accusers respond with the lies of their egoisms and fears, from their fragile securities and certainties.<br />
&nbsp;</p>

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

<p class="normal_text">Holy Father, United to the oblation of your Son Jesus, I pray for all who are incapable of bravely support the truth they anticipate and recognize. I present you this prayer by the maternal hands of Mary, who in Fatima reminds that it is in the light that the truth is revealed.<br />
&nbsp;<br />
Our Father...</p>
