Jesus is stripped of His garments.
We adore You, Lord Christ, and we bless You
Because by Your holy cross You have redeemed the world.
When the soldiers crucified Jesus, they took His clothes, dividing them into four shares, one for each of them, with the undergarment remaining. This garment was seamless, woven in one piece from top to bottom. “Let’s not tear it,” they said to one another. “Let’s decide by lot who will get it.” This happened that the scripture might be fulfilled which said,
“They divided my clothes and cast lots for my garment.”
So this is what the soldiers did.
John 19:23-24.
Hail Mary, full of grace, the Lord is with thee.
Blessed art thou among women, and blessed is the fruit of thy womb, Jesus.
Holy Mary, Mother of God, pray for us sinners,
Now and at the hour of our death.
Amen
