“So they took Jesus, and, carrying the cross himself, he went out to what is called the Place of the Skull, in Hebrew, Golgotha. There they crucified him, and with him two others, one on either side, with Jesus in the middle. Pilate also had an inscription written and put on the cross. It read, ‘Jesus the Nazorean, the King of the Jews.’”
(John 19:16-19)
Good Friday, Jesus’ unparalleled love is evident. This day is good for what it promises yet filled with sorrow for the suffering our sins caused. Lord, grant us the grace for true contrition and the strength to change, living in the freedom this day brings. Amen.
