Holy Week - 2010

Good Friday—The Crucifixion of Jesus
Reading: John 18:1-19:42
Reflection: The Passion account in John is a narrative of how the Word of God made flesh—Jesus—became immersed in all of human life. To be with Jesus we need to be willing to live life as fully as we can. We need to reach out in trust to others. We need to acknowledge our doubts and fears. We need to accept our hurts and pains. We need to acknowledge our sin and accept God’s forgiveness. We need to accept the good and the bad that come with living life and know ourselves as people who need Jesus.
Prayer: Father, through the passion and death of your Son Jesus you revealed your willingness to be with me in the most critical aspects of human life. Help me to fully accept my humanity so as to be with Jesus in all that is human. I ask this in Jesus’ name.
