<p class="subtitle_brown"><em>According to the gospel of John</em></p>

<p class="quote">Then he handed him over to them to be crucified. Pilate also wrote a title and put it on the cross; it read: &quot;Jesus of Nazareth, the King of the Jews.&quot;</p>

<em>Meditation</em></p>

<p class="normal_text">Lord Jesus, I feel the hustle of the tasks that hold you to that cross. In fact, all humanity feels that eagerness of the arms which move to crucify you. And the longer I observe, the more I see that the faces crucifying you have the physiognomy of all the continents, of all places, of all times, of all generations. Their arms are moved by the badness that speaks to the ungodly and corrupts your heart. There for you are exposed to all four corners of the world, attracting them all to you.<br />
&nbsp;<br />
Lord, with you, in this hour, I pray for the conversion of all who rise their arms against the fair and crucify the innocents:<br />
<strong>V. </strong>Lord, have mercy on us!<br />
<strong>R. </strong>Lord, have mercy on us!<br />
<br />
Our Father...</p>
