(cross on friary building)
Are these actions of Jesus on Good Friday, his embrace of suffering and his death on the cross, the greatest teachings that he left us?
Does everything that Jesus taught during his lifetime here on earth come together today – on the cross?
"The greatest among you will be the one who serves the rest" (Mt 23:11)
"The last shall be first" (Mk 10:31)
"The one who humbles himself (herself) shall be exalted." (Luke 14: 11)
"Whoever loses his (her) life for my sake will find it." (Mt 16:25)
It all comes together today ….. ON THE CROSS!
What is our response to this?
(words from Holy Thursday: "What I have done is give you an example; as I have done, so shall you do!")
"We adore you, O Christ, and we bless you, because by your holy cross you have redeemed the world."
