Good Friday: For God so loved the world...
Catholic Inspiration
The Passion of the Lord reveals God's love for the world. May this day drive us to our knees as we accept the gift of Christ and share His love with one another.
info_outlineThose moments...when our guts constrict and the air goes out of our lungs. The times in life when we are overwhelmed, lost, consumed by pain or grief, feeling abandoned, tempted to the breaking point...
And Jesus understands. Forty days of solitude in the wilderness, hungry and thirsty, the Lord triumphed over the temptations of Satan. It is crucial to note that these temptations - over physical needs, personal power/control, and death itself - would all be faced by Christ at Calvary. What's more, he will triumph!
Our faith reminds us of two key facts. Yes there will be times of trial, but as we confront the reality of life we do so equipped with the victory of Jesus. We face our struggles with God's grace, and we call upon the Lord as we say:
Be with me Lord, when I am in trouble!
