Good Friday

You can’t bear your own sins, to say nothing of getting rid of them.

Good Friday encompasses the silence of God, even as it focuses on our salvation in the cross of Christ.

Golgotha is the point where not only Mary and John’s family life assumed a new character, but it is the point of orientation for all human community that uses the cross to straighten out the lives of individuals turned in upon themselves.

The cross does not remain on a hill far away. It pursues us into the valleys, the ravines, the crevices in which we get trapped as we wander in search of a fixed point for our lives.

Jesus wouldn't allow religious people to determine his identity, define his mission, or put him in a safe, predictable religious box.
