PASSION OF CHRIST


Our Lord died on the cross for all of us; the whole world. I wish and pray that the whole world turns to Christ and adores him for what he did as he came to this world, becoming man in flesh.

As we recall our Christ's passion on this Good Friday, think of his love for the world. He took the sins of the world upon his pure conscience, where each sin was like a dagger that pierced his pure and forgiving heart. His frail body; torn-up by the utter brutality of mankind. He fell several times on his way to Calvary. He was bleeding profusely, flesh that was barely hanging on his body. If he wanted to he could have saved himself. But, he was doing his Father’s will, think of his loyalty to his Father. If mankind was to die a thousand deaths, still they cannot redeem themselves of their sins. Only Jesus with his sacrifice was able to give us redemption.

Upon his arrival at the place of his crucifixion, Romanian soldiers striped him in a barbaric fashion, where flesh pealed from his body as they de-robed him. Then they nailed him to the cross piercing his palms. These are the same palms that during his ministry were used to heal others; today they had nails in them.

May God have mercy upon mankind, for what are sins did to him? Never forget his sacrifice and his dying ever minute as he was upon this earth, preaching and delivering his Fathers wills.

I pray each day for his grace that one day I can lay my life as my Lord did for his people. Amen.

He was crucified because of the cowardliness of his followers. Where did the crowds go that he feed fish and bread to; would you deny him, as Peter? Would you ran away or stand next to him and become his true followers.

Pray for me and I will pray for you. That GOD gives us the graces to become his true followers.
