Day of Fasting and Abstinence Gospel Reading: John 18:1-19:42 Photo by eberhard grossgasteiger on Unsplash Then Pilate took Jesus and had him scourged. And the soldiers wove a crown out of thorns and placed it on his head, and clothed him in a purple cloak, and they came to him and said, "Hail, King of the Jews!" And they struck him repeatedly. (John 19:1-3) If you are able, attend a Good Friday service today, or offer an additional act of penance.* *Taken from the 2019 Lenten Daily Devotional from the Basilica of The National Shrine of The Immaculate Conception.
