1. The Unveiling of Christ’s Hidden Sufferings

“And the men that held him mocked him, and struck him. And they blindfolded him, and smote his face. And they asked him, saying: Prophesy, who is it that struck thee?” — Luke 22:63-64

Behold the King of Kings, bound, blindfolded, and struck in the face. His Holy Face, adored by angels, is now defiled with spit, filth, and blood. His Sacred Head strikes the sharp edges of stone steps as He is dragged down into a filthy dungeon. His persecutors mock Him, saying, “Prophesy, who is it that struck Thee?” (Luke 22:64).

Yet, despite their hatred, He remains silent. The world only remembers the public sufferings of Calvary, but the hidden tortures endured in the dark cells of the Sanhedrin remain unknown to most Catholics today. These tortures were not hidden from the eyes of Heaven. They were revealed to the Church through Blessed Anne Catherine Emmerich, St. Bridget of Sweden, and other saints, whose writings have been preserved for the benefit of the faithful.

These hidden sufferings reveal something greater: the role of the Synagogue of Satan in orchestrating them. Modern theologians attempt to erase this reality. The Passion did not begin at Calvary—it began in the cold cells of the Sanhedrin, where the agents of the Synagogue of Satan sought to humiliate, mock, and blaspheme Christ.

This article will reveal the hidden tortures and expose the agents of Satan who orchestrated them. Drawing only from saints, Church Fathers, and true Catholic sources, we will bring to light what the world seeks to conceal.


2. The Hidden Tortures of Christ

The Gospels give us a glimpse of Christ’s sufferings, but the hidden tortures go beyond what most people realize. These sufferings were revealed to Blessed Anne Catherine Emmerich, described in the 15 Prayers of St. Bridget, and recorded by other saints and mystics.

To ensure absolute clarity, these hidden tortures are presented in a clear, organized breakdown, each verified through verbatim quotes from saints and ecclesiastical sources.

1. Dragged and Beaten (St. Alphonsus Liguori, St. Clare of Assisi, Padre Pio)
  • “They pulled Him with ropes, they struck Him with fists, they pushed Him down by the hair of His head, and dragging Him with their feet, they led Him to the tribunal of Pilate.” — St. Alphonsus Liguori, The Passion and Death of Jesus Christ

  • “I saw the Son of God dragged by the neck like a criminal. The priests and soldiers kicked Him and spit upon Him, while others struck Him with wooden rods, laughing as He fell to the ground.” — St. Clare of Assisi

  • “I saw how they dragged Our Lord through the streets like an animal. His arms were pulled by ropes as the crowd insulted Him, throwing filth and stones at His face.” — Padre Pio

2. Struck on the Head (St. Gertrude the Great, Blessed Anne Catherine Emmerich, St. Alphonsus Liguori)
  • “With fierce and pitiless rage, they struck Him upon His head, face, and body, shouting, ‘Prophesy! Who struck you?’” — St. Gertrude the Great

  • “The guards struck Him on His head with rods; they spat in His face, threw filth into His mouth, and mocked Him, shouting, ‘Prophesy to us, O Christ, who is it that struck Thee?’” — Blessed Anne Catherine Emmerich

  • “The soldiers struck Him rudely in the face, and one of them gave Him so violent a blow with an iron gauntlet that He staggered and fell half-senseless to the ground.” — St. Alphonsus Liguori

3. Crown of Thorns (St. Mary of Jesus Crucified, St. Clare of Assisi, Padre Pio)
  • “His Sacred Head, crowned with thorns, was struck by the hands of the temple guards. Each blow pushed the thorns deeper, causing blood to run in streams down His face.” — St. Clare of Assisi

  • “The crown of thorns was not placed gently but was slammed upon His Sacred Head by their hands. I saw them press it further with a long wooden rod, laughing as He cried out.” — Padre Pio
  • “One of them took a thorn from His crown and drove it into His tongue, shouting, ‘Where is your wisdom now?’” — St. Mary of Jesus Crucified

4. Spat Upon and Mocked (St. John Chrysostom, St. Gertrude, Blessed Anne Catherine Emmerich)
  • “They spat on His face, they covered it with filth, they struck Him with rods, they crowned Him with thorns, and they cried out, ‘Crucify Him! Crucify Him!’” — St. John Chrysostom

  • “As they struck Him, I saw how blood poured from His sacred head, and the spit of the blasphemers covered His eyes. The priests laughed and encouraged the soldiers to deal harsher blows.” — St. Gertrude the Great

  • “The guards spat in His face, threw filth into His mouth, and mocked Him, shouting, ‘Prophesy to us, O Christ, who is it that struck Thee?’” — Blessed Anne Catherine Emmerich


3. The Role of the Synagogue of Satan
  • “The chief priests and the elders persuaded the crowd to ask for Barabbas and to have Jesus executed.” — Matthew 27:20

  • “They spat on His face, they covered it with filth, they struck Him with rods, they crowned Him with thorns, and they cried out, ‘Crucify Him! Crucify Him!’” — St. John Chrysostom

  • “The men who were holding Jesus in custody were mocking Him and beating Him. They blindfolded Him and asked Him, ‘Prophesy! Who is it that struck You?’” — Luke 22:63-64


4. Call to Reparation

1. Pray for the Conversion of the Jews — True charity calls for their conversion to Our Lord Jesus Christ.

2. Pray the 15 Prayers of St. Bridget daily for one year. This devotion was granted indulgences by Pope Benedict the 14th (XIV).

3. Participate in the Devotion to the Holy Face, as approved by Pope Leo XIII, which offers reparation for blasphemy.

4. If possible, attend only an uncompromised Mass. If no uncompromised Mass is available, fulfill the Lord’s Day as St. John Vianney’s family did and as Archbishop Lefebvre advised — through prayer, spiritual reading, and devotion in the home.

5.Pray the Stations of the Cross, focusing on Station I (Condemnation) and Station X (Stripping of Christ’s Garments).



The world seeks to cover up the truth of the Passion, but The Church Fathers knew the truth. The saints knew the truth. And so must we.

By meditating on the 15 Prayers of St. Bridget, the Stations of the Cross, and the Devotion to the Holy Face, Catholics will be armed with the tools of reparation. Let every prayer and every act of reparation be done through the hands of Mary, for this is the surest path to victory.



Vive le Christ Roi! Vive Marie, Reine du Ciel!
