Jesus Dies on the Cross

 

Reflection

Jesus shares the disappointment of many people who see their efforts and dreams collapse.  He is even tempted to doubt God’s presence in his struggle.  

But he dies the way he has lived: "Love your enemies, pray for your persecutors... do good to those who hate you, bless those who curse you."  In his death, Jesus has broken the hold of sin and death over us, and asks us to continue to free people from death, in his name.  Greater love than this no one has, than to lay down one’s life for all.

Prayer - Jesus, make us instruments of the world’s healing. In each Eucharist you give us glimpses of the God-nourished society of love, unity and mutual healing that the whole world is meant to become. We continue your mission of freeing the human family from suffering and injustice that result from sin.  Amen.
