The Crowning of Thorns
Every time I find myself in a more reverent posture of humility, You still continue to enlighten me and unveil to me that there’s more. Especially within this third sorrowful mystery. You showed me what true humility is. Not just by willingly or obediently receiving the crown of thorns, but by desiring the crown of thorns. By showing us to live for eternity and not for the temporary. The crown You received was one of suffering. A crown which shows that suffering leads to eternity. You have left to ponder. What crown do I desire? One of gold? Jewels? Earthly desires? Pride? How many things have I done things for myself? How many times have I served for myself? How many times have I said “yes” and have forgotten you? How many times have I have I been selfish for my desires and not Yours? Within this life, countless times. Help me thirst for You as You did for us on the Cross. Humble my heart O God and teach me to accept suffering as my way to eternity. Blessed Mother, help me desire a crown of thorns.
