We adore you, O Christ, and we praise You!
Because by your Holy Cross, You have redeemed the world!
Pilate is weak, and he gives in to the demands of the crowd. He washes his hands -- literally -- and passes the blame for the death of Jesus onto the people.
Yet, aren't we like Pilate at times? We lack the courage to stand up for our convictions or to stop gossiping. We're too civilized to condemn someone to death, but we're not above tarnishing someone's reputation (i.e., you know they say...).
Lord, help us to see You in everyone we encounter. Help us to be more like you and less like Pilate. Lord, give us the grace and the courage to begin anew today.
