Good Friday

Warning: The above video is graphic. Imagine Mary having to watch them do this to her Son! Imagine watching them do this to your child.

This is the heart of Christianity. Make no mistake, being Christian is not something safe and comfortable. It is accepting that the Creator of the universe loves you personally so much that he would become human for the express purpose of allowing evil men to do this to him, to save me and you from our hate, evil thoughts, actions and words, from our greed and selishness and self-centredness. He took our punishment, for our sake. As Christians, we're asked to sacrifice our comfortable hatreds and sins for him in return.

It's graphic. It's scary. It HAPPENED.

Thank you, Jesus.

Prayer of Saint Gianna

Jesus, I promise You to submit myself to all that You permit to befall me; make me only know Your will. My most sweet Jesus, infinitely merciful God, most tender Father of souls, and in a particular way of the most weak, most miserable, most infirm which You carry with special tenderness between Your divine arms, I come to You to ask You, through the love and merits of Your Sacred Heart, the grace to comprehend and to do always Your holy will, the grace to confide in You, the grace to rest securely through time and eternity in Your loving divine arms. Amen.
