X — Jesus Is Stripped Of His Garments.

They took his clothes and divided them into four shares, a share for each soldier.  They also took his tunic, but the tunic was seamless, woven in one piece from the top down.  So they said to one another,  "Let's not tear it, but cast lots for it to see whose it will be," in order that the passage of scripture might be fulfilled that says:  "They divided my garments among them for my vesture they cast lots."         (John 19:23-24)

Every daily call to suffering is a call to come to him who bore all our infirmities and took all our wounds upon himself.  Each daily invitation to patience is an invitation to come to him who was led like a lamb to the slaughter.

He is suggesting some particular act of charity, that we may come into the arms of him whose name is Love.  He is offering an opportunity for meekness and humility, that we may deepen our communication with Jesus, who is meek and humble of heart, who hung upon a cross stripped of all things.

    — Mother Mary Francis of Our Lady, P.C.C.
