Cycle B
Gospel Note:
Mark's version of the Passion contained here (15:20-39),
perhaps his redaction of two earlier accounts, renders a portrait
of utter humiliation and defeat: Jesus is stripped, mocked and
tortured to death in an execution that added insult to injustice
and injury. Yet, upon his demise, he is vindicated, both divinely
and humanly.
Liturgical Color:
Scarlet or purple
Suggested Hymns:
The Royal Banners Forward Go
O Sacred Head, Now Wounded
Beneath The Cross Of Jesus
