Then Pilate took Jesus and had him scourged. And the soldiers wove a crown out of thorns and placed it on his head, and clothed him in a purple cloak, and they came to him and said, “Hail, King of the Jews!” And they struck him repeatedly. (John 19:1-3)
Prayer: Lord, grant us patience in times of suffering that we may offer our lives as a sacrifice of praise.
