MEA CULPA

MEA CULPA I'm sorry that on account of my disgrace, Jesus: Was betrayed by the apostles Judas; [Mark 14:44] Had false witness declared against Him; [Mark 14:56] Was condemned to death; was spit upon; [Mark 14:65] Was repeatedly hit by the palms of hands; [Mark 14:65] Was whipped, shedding His Sacred Blood; [Matt. 27:26] Had a crown of thorns placed on His head; [John 19:2] Was stripped of His clothing; [Matt. 27:28] Was mocked as the King of Jews; [Matt. 27:29] Was hit on the head with a reed; [Matt. 27:30] Was mocked at by the bowing of knees before Him; [Mark 19-20] Had lots cast for his vesture; [Matt. 27:35] Was beat upon by the hands of the soldiers; [John 19:3] Carried the ponderous cross of my sins; [John 19:17] Had nails perforate His tender hands and feet; [John 19:18] Was given a sponge full of vinegar to drink; [Mark 15:36] Gave up His Spirit; died on the cross; [Luke 23:46] And then had His side pierced with a spear. [John 19:34] This venerable human sacrifice marked Divine love, Defraying the ransom for my salvation.
