As We Reflect on the Crucifixion of Jesus Christ and His Death at Calvary today

Good Friday was the D-Day of the human race.  Since Pentecost, the power of Christ’s obedient, humble, unstoppable love has been made available to all who are willing to share it, producing martyrs and saints in every generation, down to the Maximilian Kolbe’s and Mother Teresa’s of our own era.

So the cross is not only victorious, it is fruitful.  It bore the fruit of salvation in the loving act of Christ but has kept bearing new fruit throughout the ages.  That’s why, if you go to the Church of San Clemente in Rome, you’ll see one of the most stunning mosaics in the Eternal City.  The ancient instrument of subjection and death, wrapped with verdant vines supporting fruit of every shape and size, the triumphant cross become the tree of life.


So as we reflect, dearies, let us remember it’s Good Friday. Good because some 2000 years ago, the events of today prove that we matter to God. He gave his only begotten Son so that we can live. May we never forget the true meaning of Easter – ‘For when He was on the cross, we were on His mind.” May the grace of our Lord surround and be with us all.

Put a smile on someone's face today and reflect on the word of God
