God had the last laugh on Good Friday.

GOOD FRIDAY OF THE LORD’S PASSION AND DEATH. 

“Look, I am bringing him out to you, so that you may know that I find no guilt in him.”

"So Jesus came out, wearing the crown of thorns and the purple cloak. And Pilate said to them,

“Behold, the man!”

When the chief priests and the guards saw him they cried out,

“Crucify him, crucify him!”

Pilate said to them,

“Take him yourselves and crucify him. I find no guilt in him.” (The Passion of the Lord according to St John).

"We do not have the right to execute anyone.” (John 18: 31).

Friday 7th April 2023, Good Friday of the Lord's Passion. 

The Jewish leaders see the death of Jesus on the Cross as the execution of a criminal. 

“If he were not a criminal, we would not have handed him over to you.”

How do you see the death of Jesus on the Cross?

"It is love "to the end" that confers on Christ's sacrifice its value as redemption and reparation, as atonement and satisfaction. He knew and loved us all when he offered his life. Now "the love of Christ controls us, because we are convinced that one has died for all; therefore all have died." (CCC 616).

"But he was pierced for our sins,

crushed for our iniquity.

He bore the punishment that makes us whole, by his wounds we were healed." (Isaiah 52: 5).
