Master of the Karlsruhe Passion, “The Capture of Christ,” circa 1450
Last night Fr John Paul spoke at the Mass of the Lord's Supper about how Jesus Takes, Blesses, Breaks and Gives, he was reminding us to those actions within the Eucharist.
Today we remember the day when Jesus TAKES the decision to die for our sin, he Blesses his Mother and the Beloved disciple who watch him as he dies, and gives hope to the dying thief who asks to be remembered, as he dies and his body is BROKEN he GIVES his all. We have the promise that as we watch and wait He will rise from the dead, because he has GIVEN us salvation.
For our younger readers they may wish to remember the crosses made on a previous Good Friday. See video below.
Some of our children and families gathered on Wednesday evening to pray the stations of the cross and sent in their pictures for the 4th Station where Jesus meets his mother (above) and the 9th Station where Jesus falls a 3rd time (right).
