The crown of thorns of Jesus, the thorn of my flesh

Instead of continuously praying fervently to God to remove the thorn in the flesh,

let us humbly embrace that thorn with faith and approach the cross,

relying on the Lord who wore the crown of thorns.

In the midst of suffering,

let us experience the abundant grace and love of God's sufficient salvation

(2 Cor. 12:7; Mt. 11:28; 27:29; Ps. 31:9, 14; 40:13).
