Thinking back over your life, come up with an experience that best matches each of these sufferings in Jesus' passion:
1. Feeling alone, as others "slept through" your suffering:
2. Feeling stripped naked by others or by life:
3. Feeling mocked by others, as if dressed in scarlet with a crown of thorns:
4. Feeling and crying out, "My God, my God, why hast thou forsaken me?"
