Let us hold in our hearts the scarred body of Jesus. He gave himself up to a horrendous death so that we might have eternal life. Jesus took on our sins, suffered the penance and obtained forgiveness for us all. Never forget.
In these Good Friday days, when Christianity is under attack from many sides, be resurrected, Lord, in the hearts and minds of all people. May the darkness of Good Friday give way to the Glory of Jesus Christ resurrected on Easter Morning! Alleluia!
