GOOD FRIDAY

LETTER TO SCOURGED JESUS

 

Dear Scourged Jesus


dear Jesus You who suffered so much for us


   in the Scourging, oh Jesus You didn't deserve


   to suffer and I admit all my sins and I ask


   Your forgiveness.


Dear Jesus we have been really bad and I ask


   Your forgiveness for my sins and for all the sins


   of the others and You who are so good forgive them


   and let them go to Paradise.


Dear Jesus You have suffered so much during the


   Scourging with patience and I want to learn that


   if someone gives me a slap or teases me I mustn't


   give it back but I have to be kind with him


   in the name of Your love.
